Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal confessed that his party needed to introspect. The recent electoral losses faced by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) mirrors party’s grip on the capital city.

Kejriwal indicated that AAP’s own “mistakes” have led the party’s journey to downfall. The party will introspect and better it’s operations to ensure that the party doesn’t lose ground.

It was a rare admission of failure by the activist-turned-politician who had blamed “tampered EVMs” for the poor show in the recent civic polls in Delhi.

It also came a day after one of his party leaders, Kumar Vishwas, challenged the party’s official line besides raising a host of other issues related to party functioning.

Kejriwal vented his feelings on a letter and shared it on social media platform Twitter. The letter said, “In the last two days, I spoke to many volunteers and voters. The reality is obvious. Yes, we made mistakes but we will introspect and course correct. Time to go back to drawing board. To not evolve will be silly.”

“We owe that to voters n volunteers. We owe that to ourselves. Need is action and not excuses. It’s time to go back to work. And even if we slip from time to time, the key is to find the reserves to hold and pull ourselves up. The people deserve nothing less. The only thing constant is change,” the note added.

The party went south after two years of winning thumping mandate in Delhi assembly elections before two years. AAP lost to BJP by large numbers in Delhi Municipal elections, Goa in the recently concluded elections.

This letter is interpreted as a strategic medium to connect with the Indian voters who have shown denial for the party at various events in the past. The minster is also seen slamming the Prime Minister time and again on trivial issues. However, it now seems like the minister has understood his mistakes and is readying to portray a better political image.
