On a sunny winter day, exactly five months ago, Arvind Kejriwal became Delhi’s 7th chief minister, and delivered a message of hope to thousands of people at Ramlila Maidan.
After the drubbing in the Lok Sabha polls, resignation of senior colleagues, and a series of flip-flops, hope is what his now-demoralised party is holding on to. The Aam Aadmi Party has now started working on ‘Mission 100 days’ to win back Delhi.
“Elections in Delhi could be held along with Maharashtra and Haryana in October. We have appointed observers in all 70 assembly constituencies. Feedback is coming. An analysis of the poll debacle is on,” said a senior leader.
Despite a 0-7 drubbing, AAP’s vote share increased from 29.3% in the 2013 assembly polls to 32.9% now. All seven candidates stood second, relegating the Congress to a poor third. Assembly segment-wise balloting puts the BJP ahead in 60 of the 70 seats.
The party is now reading the fine print. “We fared better in areas such as RK Puram and Okhla. But we need to work harder in middle-class constituencies such as Greater Kailash and Malviya Nagar,” he said.
The party thinks Kejriwal may not be as big a hero as he was last winter but he still has no match. “Both the BJP and Congress have no strong CM candidate,” he said.
Gopal Mohan, who managed Kejriwal’s poll campaign in New Delhi and Varanasi, sees hope. “As many as 20% of all those who voted for BJP in the LS polls are saying they voted for Modi but will support AAP during the assembly elections,” said the IIT alumnus.
“Even if that doesn’t hold and there is only a 10% swing, AAP’s vote share will still go up to 43% and BJP’s will go down to 36,” he said.
“Even if that doesn’t hold and there is only a 10% swing, AAP’s vote share will still go up to 43% and BJP’s will go down to 36,” he said.
Political scientist Ravi Ranjan says even the BJP has acknowledged AAP is still a political force in Delhi. “Modi chose four ministers from Delhi-NCR. All of them defeated potential AAP leaders.”
He says BJP’s victory in the LS polls will be a factor. “But we shouldn’t forget people will vote differently in assembly elections because of local issues,” he said.
The party has decided to go to people again with the promise of “cheap electricity, free water and a corruption-free administration”. MLAs are holding mohalla sabhas to discuss funds should be spent. Volunteers are going door-to-door, justifying Kejriwal’s decision to go to jail.
“But a lot will depend on who will be BJP’s CM candidate since Harsh Vardhan has shifted to the centre. It would be interesting to see how the NDA government at the Centre reacts to problems in Delhi,” Ranjan said.

Pune is seeing red.
Top police officials have revealed that Delhi University Professor G N Saibaba, arrested on charges of being a member of the banned insurgent organisation CPI (Maoist), helping it recruit people and providing logistics to it, was in touch with several ‘prominent’ people based in Pune.

Pune sees red: Police are now carrying out investigations to ascertain whether the people in the list were just sympathisers or were actually involved in Maoist activities. Representation Pic
Members of the Anti-Naxal Operations (ANO) cell have recovered a list of contacts from Saibaba containing the names of such citizens and investigations are on to establish whether these ‘contacts’ were limited to being sympathisers or were involved in Maoist activity.
Speaking to reporters yesterday, Deputy Inspector General of Police (ANO) Ravindra Kadam also emphasised that the strategic location of Pune city has made the Maoists give it high importance as one of the best places from which to carry forward the movement. Kadam was speaking on ‘Maoist movement, its front network and Pune city’ at a press interaction organized by the Pune Union of Working Journalists at the Patrakar Bhavan in Navi Peth.
‘Revolutionary’
Elaborating on the role played by Saibaba in spreading the Maoist ideology, DIG Kadam said, “Saibaba was just short of being conferred the title of ‘professional revolutionary’ by the Maoists. He was responsible for the coordination between various front organisations and it is he who has really projected the Maoist movement in India.”
“Saibaba was in touch with several ‘democratic’ and ‘women’s rights’ organizations. We have recovered a list of contacts from him and are investigating the role of every person on it. The names of many prominent citizens feature in the list,” he added.
Asked how strong the case against Saibaba is, Kadam said, “We have sufficient evidence against him. We had obtained an arrest warrant from the court, which obviously did not issue the warrant blindly. The evidence we have will be subjected to scrutiny during trial.”

Pune focus
Stressing on the importance of Pune for the Maoist movement, Kadam said, “Pune is close to Mumbai and is home to many colleges and intellectuals. Considering its strategic location, Pune has been marked as an important city by Maoists on their map.”
The Maoists had established the Western Maharashtra Committee focusing on Pune city in 2009 and several front organizations, including the Kabir Kala Manch (KKM), were started around 2002. Angela and Milind Teltumde were the architects of the movement In Pune and played a key role in spreading the Maoist network in the city.
Even today, more than seven activists of the KKM are under the scanner of police agencies, while nearly 13 associates of Saibaba have gone underground after his arrest.
