Built on protest, broken by politics

How the AAP crashed in the eye of the storm

Born out of an anti-corruption uprising that electrified the nation, the Aam Aadmi Party promised to clean up Indian politics and deliver governance rooted in honesty and transparency. Catapulted from protests to power in record time, it stunned the political class with its meteoric rise and landslide victories in Delhi and later in Punjab. But the movement that began with idealism soon found itself mired in controversy.

This book traces the AAP’s dramatic journey, from its origins in street activism to its crushing defeat in the Delhi elections in 2025. It delves into the power struggles and personality clashes that fractured the party’s ethical core, the high-stakes liquor scam, the arrests of top leaders and the political storm around Arvind Kejriwal’s lavish house renovation. With the BJP using every misstep to tighten the noose, the fall was as swift as the rise. Drawing on insider accounts and sharp political analysis, this is the definitive story of one of India’s most audacious and turbulent political experiments.
