Senior Congress leader, Janardhan Diwedi, said this Sunday that the emerfence of AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) is a warning and a challenge for all the senior parties of India. Their emergence reflects the anger, disappointment and frustration that people of India have towards the system and its major parties. The Congress General Secretary, Dwivedi, at the same time added that ‘this kind of anarchy’ cannot and fails to accomplish an ‘ideal system’.

In a very apparent attack on BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi, Dwivedi said that it was a ‘pity’ that by ‘arm twisting’ a leader of the state had forced upon his leadership on others in BJP.’ It is not proper to say anything more on the internal affairs of another party or any leader,’ he said when asked who he was referring to. He further cautioned that politicians who stray away from politics are neglected by the people and thus the victory of Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi proves nothing, not the victory of any party, leave aside its ideology.

‘Those who have won here have no ideology. They have won because of the discontent among people. This is the victory of the anger of the people towards the major parties. This is the victory of the grievance of common residents from the system. This is a challenge, this is a warning. It should be accepted like that..I think all parties, including Congress, are realising this now,’ said the Congress leader, Dwivedi. To questions relating to failure of Congress returning to power in major states, Dwivedi replied that there were problems in candidate selection but the main problem was that ‘we did not try to create new leadership keeping in mind the entire society.’
