Election Commission Setback

The election commission has delivered a setback to the AAM Aadmi Party in Dilli. AAP can either take a defensive approach or outmaneuver this issue proactively with tactical responses. No doubt it is politically motivated. Acknowledge that this is indeed politically motivated without taking names of parties. By all means respond with whatever judicial means available. If it succeeds, great , at the same time work on Plan B.

1. Make full disclosure of what is involved. If the allegation is that the MLA received compensation in lieu of money, disclose the equivalent amount. Come clean.

• Explain why this was done
• If this was done by other parties.
• If this was a procedural issue, then highlight it.
• Details of benefits accrued if any by the MLAs
• Explain how much the by election will cost and whether this is judicious use of the people's money.

2. PR should go on over drive. Highlight AAPs achievements these constituencies
3. Use this opportunity to replace non-performing MLAs. Establish a culture of performance. Use this as a plus point.
4. In the event there is a by election, money will be splurged to buy votes by opposition parties. Do not name names. Gather intelligence that indicates that this is indeed the case. Make general allegations that this is happening without taking names. That it is hoped that people will vote for the common good instead of individual gains. Maybe even state that if people want good governance, then they have to reject corrupt practices.
5. Extol the virtues of Democracy while also addressing the pitfalls. Explain the limitations on the Dilli CM and legislature due to the power vested in the LG. Use this opportunity to expose the inordinate obstacles faced and exhort the people to support AAP in making the LG who is an “appointed” who is opposing the will of the people who voted and elected their representative.
