Why AAP strategy is not good for country

With all due respect to Mr Arvind Kejriwal, the populist strategy to benefit common man is not going to be beneficial in long term.

These are my 10 apprehensions in current political and financial environment of country.

1. He has yet to prove his strategy actually works, at least in local scenario to start with Delhi

2. Weather it's electricity subsidy or water subsidy, the cost of reducing net outflow of common man has to be bore by common man in long run. Subsidy is not solution it's just delaying tactics to gather support. Giving subsidy from government kitty is like giving from one hand and arm twisting to grab money from other hand. People must understand government never produce money, it's the people eventually, who have to bear cost of subsidy, it's weather you feel that pinch inform of monthly electricity or annual bills or increased Tax component in CNG, PNG, Petrol, diesel n what not.

3. Kejriwal has been going back n froth on many of the promises made by him n his team before polls. 

It can be not taking or giving support to Congress, not takin official bungalow or vehicle, or putting Sheila Dixit behind bars. 

4. In his pursuit for power, he is on path of absolute power which corrupts absolutely.

5. His tactics will only help Congress and stop giving Mr Narendra MODI a chance to prove his ability to lead. 

6. Worst Mr Kejriwal may spoil game at centre and again take or give support to Congress, a tactics used by many other regional parties in past eg. Down soth in Chennai and AP.

7. I personally feel just like the way, people have given chance to AAP in Delhi , they must to Mr MODI who has better proofed himselves in his state. Well that's similar to what happens in corporate world. People take step by step and reach higher up the organization hierarchy. 

8. Worst fear a conspiracy theory going around that AAP is actually team B of Congress and brain child of Sonia Gandhi. They just mind playing with countrymen to again get into power some way or the other.

9. Tactics used by Kejriwal have been good for short term, no one yet know how they shall affect health of state and common man in long term eg 5 yrs. as cited earlier all tactics shown by him have been taken considering next 3-6 months. Just to win populist votes.

10. Mr Kejriwal n AAP team has never said or clarify their stand on national issues like article 370, Indian relations with world, country military prowess etc.

Same goes for his ability to think and act on creating jobs, bringing in FDI, taking hard steps on black money. Taking actions on corrupt politicians who occasionally come out on bail even after been convicted eg Lalu Yadav. 

Process to build world class Mobile App

5 Step process for Mobile application development

Step1 Create and launch plain vanilla site focusing on core concept or feature eg for saavn.com or gaana.com it shall be playing a song and content discovery.

Step2 Take feedback on core product features and fetch crash reports etc. get user feedback, motivate them, reward them for sharing feedback and report bugs.

Step 3 2nd cut should have enhanced looks and better UX/UI. Once core features have been built focus on how users should be easily able to navigate and find them on the UI, User should be educated in case of major UI overhaul. eg left navigation in Android 4.3+.

Step 4 personalization. Take a step toward better recommendations based on user history/profile, cookies and implementing better collaborative recommendation algorithm

Step 5 keep on repeating step 2-5 for future releases.
