The most important of all the lessons, we can learn from the US election how important it is to build grassroots organization for achieving electoral success. This is the single most important factor for the success of Obama.
We do have thousands of people who are willing to spend their time and energy for the party. Channelizing this raw , directionless energy towards the goal will be crucial for our success. If not properly used , it might be counter productive.
PRP has to build an effective ground-level organization . A massive , convincing organization with a dedicated people to take the message of change to every nook and corner of the state. These ground-level organizations in every village,town and cities should help to motivate people to register and vote. This organization can also be used to eventually to carry on policies of PRP in some limited form. If this building of situation has not started yet , it should happen now. Time is running out.
Our Chiru has to show his organizational/ leadership skills in building such an network. Our opposition too is run by seasoned pros with well established grassroots organization but only chiru has the legions of troops , fired up and ready to go. Organization matters.
I hope the powers that may be at the PRP , will be studying the organization model in the Obama campaign and adapt it to our situation. The other really interesting leader who build such organizations is Mahatir Mohammed,the former PM of Malaysia.
