BJP Aims to Undermine Rising AAP Before it Becomes a National Threat
- The BJP sees AAP and Kejriwal as a threat to be destroyed now before they grow further, as AAP was making inroads even in BJP strongholds like Gujarat
- If AAP weathers this storm, they could emerge stronger; but if they flounder, it could lead to terminal decline
- BJP is going after the anti-corruption "idea" represented by Kejriwal after his claims of fighting corruption
- AAP was the only party besides BJP and Congress that succeeded in expanding beyond one state, so BJP wants to cut them down
- Congress is defending AAP realizing BJP could target them next, leading to an inevitable two-party BJP vs Congress system
