The Common Man Party was in office for only 49 days after winning in Delhi's election. The opposition plotted against him with the party which had supported the Common Man party. It stood no chance against the cunning political moves by corrupt experienced politicians. It was trying to bring an ombudsman to check corruption and it did not work out. It was because of Don Quixote like actions (charging at a windmill thinking it is a dragon) Although the thoughts behind the Common Man Party were truthful, it could not reform the police, it could not reduce electricity bills and it could not give piped water to all in Delhi. It was trying, but in vain. Criticism by the media and criticism from the parties which could not get power were exaggerated. It had no time to achieve its aims as it could not last very long. Nevertheless it is an attempt to get rid of established political parties. Now we know how to get rid of the old parties---by voting effectively against the regime. All that the Common Man Party do were few sting operations when bribe taking policemen were exposed by hidden cameras, and instantly they were broadcasted on TV.
