'Governance key to remain relevant in politics'

As the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) surprised many experts by its debut performance in the Delhi Assembly polls, industry chamber Assocham on Sunday described it as a reflection of rising aspirations of the common man. It cautioned political parties against inflation and said only those which deliver on governance will remain relevant.

"Emergence of AAP in Delhi is a clear reflection of rising aspirations and impatience for inclusive growth, which needs to be really pushed through on the ground," Assocham said here.

The election results in the Assembly elections have given a clear message - it is the quality of governance which matters at the end of the day, it said.

Assocham and India Inc said any political party which delivers on governance will only remain relevant, which is a matter of great satisfaction, the statement said.

The Confederation of Indian Industry said it is ready to work with the new governments in Delhi, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

The voter might not understand the complexities of economics, but he reacts rather strongly if his purchasing power is curtailed by inflation, the chamber said.
