Democracy is still alive.

Delhi has given Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party a landslide victory! Very seldom do politicians get second chances, but the Muffler Man has, and how!

What led to BJP's defeat? Was it the aggressive communal speeches and the deafening silence of the Prime Minister? Or was it the risky candidature of Kiran Bedi that backfired?

What a journey this man has had! In 2011, he was an activist, sleeping on railway platforms; and in the last fourteen months, he has been voted as Delhi's Chief Minister, twice!

What does this mean for the country's two major political parties? Is it the end of Congress and the decline of the BJP? It is too soon to tell.

The people of the Capital have put all their eggs into Mr. Kejriwal's basket. We can only wait and watch.
