What is clear to all political pundits whether Kejriwal's Party succeeds or not, that thanks to social media 2014 will see the advent of the Middle Class Voice in Indian Politics. Kejriwal has conviction and organising capacity. This is not an unexceptional quality. There will be and are others who demonstrate this in social and business entrepreneurship. They will be ready to fill in Kejriwal's shoes, were he to quit.
The traditional political parties will have to factor this in--. Even though Arun Jaitley's lone voice on Art 377 was silenced by the BJP, it was a signal to the conservatives in the party that they may have to adapt to the winds of change. So in the fear of being vanquished, they may have to banish political doublespeak.
What remains to be seen is how soon will this transformation take place. Maybe it will be hastened by their own need to survive.
