There are these two old cliches ‘nothing succeeds like success’ and ‘failure is an orphan’. By the time this goes into print, wise analyses and expert comments on the whys and hows discussing the latest Delhi elections would have been done to death.

Hindsight is twenty-twenty, they say.

Supporters of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) celebrate the party’s victory in the Delhi Assembly elections. For both BJP and AAP winning the election was the easy part, relatively. The hard part — to fulfill promises, to give least government and maximum  governance has just begun. Pic/AFP
