In only one week these simple-minded AAPes are ripping up electricity bills and only driving State Electricity boards further into debt. Kejriwal cannot solve people's problems through Lalu-style governance, presiding over Delhi Darbar like a king. It's hard to accept this fool as a real IIT graduate, because no IITer would be so stupid as to act like this. This Lalu-style Jungle Raj only appeals to Junglee AAPes, but to everyone else it's for the birds. Never give a Broom to a monkey, because he'll only smash your furniture instead of cleaning your house.

San -- I agree with you in that populist leftism is never going to be a recipe for economic success. However, in many cases, it is a great strategy for political success. The failure of leftism/communism/socialism in the USSR should have been enough to sound the death knell for them but they seem to be thriving in the USA, Europe, and now India! The failure of socialist economic policies is often used an excuse to double down on their use -- with the appropriate promises of "doing it right this time".
That the AAP is not capable of governance is quite clear to people who understand poltical science and history. However, since the AAP has no track record of failure, its deficiencies are not clear to the average emotional voter.
Supported by the Ford Foundation and possibly the CIA, the main aim of the AAP is to prevent a BJP sweep in the 2014 Indian national elections. Per current trends, they might win 20-30 seats in the Lok Sabha and prevent a BJP victory in another 20 or so. That would be enough to deny BJP a victory.
As non-carborundum said clearly in http://rajeev2004.blogspot.com/2014/01/time-to-take-on-aap.html, it is time for the BJP to take the AAP on directly. And after the election, both the AAP and unhappy-with-Rahul-Gandhi factions in the Congress should be seen as targets by the BJP for getting MPs to defect.
The picture in the post, showing an AAPE, is not quite correct, because AAP is evolving backwards from humans to the ape-like ancestors. AAP has already made considerable progress (or should one call it CON-gress?) in this backward direction.
Hi Kesavan, well that's roughly what my picture was meant to imply - that our latest revolutionary/evolutionary step "forward" is actually a step backward. And that's why these new "saviours" deserve to be called AAPes.
