Hello
As there is an eight-month interval before the Bihar elections, it will be a test for all political parties on whether their leaders are capable of toning down abuses, especially when the urge comes to giving nasty retorts.
The AAP stormed back to power in the national capital on Tuesday, winning 62 seats in the 70-member Assembly.
Congress will have to project a charismatic leader against CPM's Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who, some feel, has a chance to retain power.
What worked for AAP was its decision to provide better services in education, health, power and transport sectors.
The contest for political power over the national capital was a bipolar one with the Congress nowhere in the reckoning.
The AAP won a landslide victory in the high-stakes Delhi Assembly polls, leaving the main rival BJP way behind and decimating the Congress in a bitterly-fought contest.
The BJP's biggest drawback, many believe, was a lack of credible local leadership to take on Kejriwal, who enjoyed an unmatched advantage in this regard.
The BJP knew it faced giant odds in Delhi. It then got down to business in the last leg of the polls with a blitzkrieg.
Snapped by a PTI photographer, the little one in a maroon sweater and thick-rimmed spectacles became the face of Aam Admi Party's election victory.
He called upon the Election Commission and the Supreme Court to take a fresh look at the use of EVMs in the country.
