Assembly election 2013 results in four States Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh has wiped  out the influence of Gandhi Dynasty in Indian Polity. AAP’s debut has been explosive .It has devastated the Congress’s voters base. AAP has shown that money power , muscle power  corrupt electoral practices of influencing through cash and liquor to voters to snatch political power will not work any more. The idealism of AAP for clean politics , and promise of people friendly governance policies by AAP in the face corrupt politics of the day by Congress has worked its magic. Most of the traditional voters of Congress has voted for AAP. This shows the terrible anger against the Corrupt regime of Congress. The hubris of corrupt Congress has been humbled by the Aam Aadmi of Delhi.

AAPs success can it be scaled at national level is a big question mark. The constituencies at the national level are not as exactly suitable at this moment for AAP to replicate the victory as in Delhi. But wherever Congress is ruling and Corruption too is in large scale a sizable chunk of the Congress voters can be swung. BJP candidate too may suffer the same. These may happen in urban constituencies where people are either struggling at subsistence level without the bare minimum of life available at reasonable prices or in Constituencies where the arrogance of power of a leader is quite obvious.AAP can get to win on seats where it can take head on against the leader of a party who is insensitive to the needs of a particular constituency in an obvious brazen manner. It can enter the politics of awakening ,appeal to good co nscience of voters to throw out the man not delivering. But  where the other party leaders have delivered through a well organist party cadre even if some miss here or some there may not work in favour of AAP when it comes to national elections..

Since in Maharashtra where the Congress and it’s allies are involved in large scale corruption cases AAP in many Constituencies   can cut through the Congress votes as they did in Delhi. Thus at national level too AAP can decimate Congress though it has not grown in stature to form government on its own. But politics of Indian democracy is in a transition mode. AAP has put a check for power through corruption. At national level elections Congress will face the dual forces of devastation. Modi’s development model of jobs for youth and non corrupt governance and AAP hitting hard at the voters base on corruption issue.In short Gandhi Dynasty is killing Congress. Congress will have to shape better leaders if it has to survive as a GOP. Else it’s end for Congress.
