The case study of this party is kind of a Proof of Concept, if you will, showing that -
1. Elections can be fought with clean money, ( and the kind of donations that they received (in terms of quanta of individual contribution), where the mode should be well below 20$s per cap. makes it kind of a crowd funded campaign )
2. The part that social media can play in mobilizing people and getting point across when traditional news media blacks you out.
3. Targeted manifestos, like targeted advertisements engage people more as compared to conventional 1-state-1-manifesto approach..
4. That there is a space for clean politics.
I am curious about how things will turn out for Delhi now, and for India in the coming LS elections.
- pratik661 13y agoThe case study should note that: The constituency of Delhi is: 1. More educated than the rest of the country 2. Has a higher level of income than the rest of the country 3. Generally more cosmopolitan than the rest of the country. I can provide sources for the first 2 if you would like. The third is debatable as the only evidence I have is anecdotal.
- vellasib 13y agoI'm assuming that the point your trying to make is that if AAP were to contest nationwide, they may not get the same response. Actually, I think the other way round. Take a look at the constituencies they won from. Many of them are constituencies which largely include lower incomes groups.
- arshedg 13y agoPoint 2 is wrong. Tripura and kerala are more educated(94.05 and 93.65), Delhi is only having 86.3%.
- pratik661 13y agoYou are correct. However, when I say "rest of the country", I mean national average. There are many parts of India that fare better than Delhi on a host of social indicators (ie. Kerala). That doesn't change my argument.
