Atishi as Delhi CM: AAP fails where Congress scored decade ago

Interestingly, the newlyappointed Delhi Chief Minister Atishi's Twitter (now "X") description has a quote by American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead that says: 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world.

Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.' Her appointment as Delhi Chief Minister could have been that "change" by "a small group of thoughtful, concerned [AAP leaders]" which could have changed the party's fortunes, not just in upcoming Delhi assembly elections but forever. But the party seems to be losing the plot.

In Delhi, where AAP and its main but weak in the state contender Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) never relented in political rivalries, AAP could very well have patted their back with their "dual masterstrokes" - first, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal's resignation as the Chief Minister of Delhi; and second, the appointment of Atishi 'Marlena' Singh (or just Atishi) as his successor.

But AAP seems to be losing in the perception game.
