What Aam Aadmi party means to a common man?

Aam Aadmi party by the name itself means a party for a common man. For the
country that is still in the shackles of poverty, corruption and illiteracy, the Aam
Aadmi party has been seen as wave of new hope. The basic foundation stone on
which the party gained its momentum is the corruption that is prevalent in
almost all sections of the governmental and public sector agencies.

The partys symbol is broom that aptly represents its intention and aim to sweep
out the corruption. For a common man it means an era of new horizon. It boasts
about implementing various welfare schemes that other parties have just
implemented on paper. It aims at delivering rather than making laws for
namesake. It has just recently shown in Delhi, how it is dedicated for the
common people. Just from the day zero of the inception of Aam Aadmi party to
power in Delhi, the party has started delivering its manifesto. It has just recently
reduced the prices of electricity and brought about the innovative giveaway of
free water up to 700 litres to every household. One can view this giveaway
innovative by understanding the following.

Water is a scarce resource, in other words there is often a shortage of water. By

giving 700 litres of free water, the common man who is basically concerned
about free usage would be more likely to start using water in a more efficient
way to escape the water bills. Thus this can lead to better and judicious use of
the water resources. There can be other advantages too, for instance there may
be illegal water stealing in some areas, such free water scheme can lead to
requests for the installation of new water connections thus curbing the water
loss menace due to water stealing. Thus such welfare schemes with great in-
depth innovativeness can lead to conservation and judicious use of resources.

Further, its other elements in the manifesto target for a better system. The issues
vary from implementing Jan Lokpal bill to regularisation of unauthorized
colonies, removal of contract labour and many others, the prime focus still
being Aam Aadmi. It has brought a renaissance in the political system, with
bringing about a system wherein peoples voice is command to the government.

The party Aam Aadmi has brought a sense among other parties that voters
really value their vote and there is a dire need to shift from their existing old
fashioned ideologies which were once used to woo the voters. The party has
made it clear from the Delhi assembly elections, that even if there is a party
which has its roots with our independence and nationalism, that too would not
be spared, because Aam Aadmi is one that is fuelled with motivation,
enthusiasm and he/she wants and believes in true change, that is free from the
corruption.

However, the true testimony of the Aam Aadmi party lies ahead in the coming
months on the reaping of the success of aam-aadmi schemes and policies. The
counter point of view towards Aam Aadmi party suggests that partys manifesto
is too utopian to implement all the elements mentioned. In reality, the provision
of free water and reduction of electricity bills, have further aggravated the debts
of the already loss making power companies and Delhi Jal Board. And these
may really hurt the governments treasury. There may be miscalculations that
may have devastating effect on the economy. Further, the recent spike on the
issue of making reservations of 90 percent of the seats of the colleges of
universities of Delhi, to the Delhities, further challenges the Aam Aadmi partys
attitude towards the common man and even challenges the spirit of
cosmopolitan nature of the city and moreover the national capital.
