The Nobel laureate Amartya Sen had marveled the way politics were handled by Aam Admi Party in Delhi Elections. But he insisted that the meaning of Aam Admi (common man) should be in a broader sense.
He said that AAP unlike other political parties did not resort to making use of communal differences but fought for the common man and common justice. But, he observes that the meaning of Aam Admi has been distorted. He questions, Who is a common man? Will the meaning be changing every time?
Amartya Sen says that the problem is not of the electricity charges in case of the poorest of the poor as they do not have an electricity connection at all! He suggests that the party should rethink and understand it properly as the type of fight AAP took in Delhi elections is not enough to go on a national scale.
He expressed his confidence that the AAP is in the initial stages of its political career and they will correct themselves in their Loksabha contest.
