Meanwhile discriminatory practices (continuously reported by Marathi dailies like Samrat and Mahanak) in Indian villages on the caste lines or even in its urban pockets have been neglected as usual by ‘popular media’ as if AAP’s victory has resolved issues related to most marginalised sections of society or of all Aam Indians. In this process public imagination fed by Delhi’s election result, has further created a biased perception towards AAP in people’s mind.
