Dearest Arvind,
Congratulations to you and your party.
I’m not writing this as an AAP supporter; rather as another angry youth of this nation, fed up of dirty politics, unaccountable government and who wants genuine change in the Indian political landscape.

I remember a popular saying by Mahatma Gandhi,
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, and then you win!”
How aptly it suits you. For a person who has been trolled, slapped, inked upon, made to scale Himalayan odds, just because he wanted a genuine change, the Delhi mandate is a fitting tribute.
Now that you've been forgiven and given a second chance, you must start building a government that is accountable and responsible. The mandate has clearly shown that AAP has not lost its credibility, in fact it has gained much more.
Three things I would like to emphasize,
Firstly, the next immediate aim for AAP must be to provide stable governance and not aggressive expansion, banking on the landslide victory. You must have already learnt the perils of instability by fielding 400 candidates in the 2014 General Elections and winning a mere 1% of them. You must first prove your worth and deliverability in Delhi, stabilize as a political party, develop an agenda and a strong political philosophy. You must also understand that an organization only grows gradually and impatience only leads to its self-destruction.
Secondly, you must deliver on the ambitious promises made in the manifesto: free Wi-Fi, emphasis on sports, health, education and general welfare of the aam aadmi. Hope you don’t make your manifesto as another cliché like many parties do.
Thirdly, I admire Bedi’s valor in defeat, for that she has extended her good will to AAP and also the Delhi people. Interesting to see how BJP would emerge in the Bihar elections from the shackles of its worst ever electoral defeat (excluding 1984 General Election, of course).
This is just the beginning.
With love from Tamil Nadu, way to go AAP.
