Aam Aadmi's victory in Delhi was of course no surprise. Then again, it was a big surprise. How could a common man’s party win over a party headed by very uncommon men? Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia are Lilliputians over whom Narendra Modi and Amit Shah tower as Brobdingnagians. Perhaps that itself explained the surprise. Against the contrived and politicised Hindutva of the BJP, Kejriwal presented the ordinary man's ordinary faith when he visited the Hanuman Temple, invoked Lord Hanuman's blessings upon all and said his party's victory was a good sign for the nation. For him Hanuman was a God to pray to, not a means to canvass votes.
