Political Parties and Populist Policies in Contemporary India: Some Reflections on AAP by Sumona DasGupta 15-29 Political Parties and Populist Policies in Contemporary India: Some Reflections on AAP ∗ Sumona DasGupta Introduction There is little definitional clarity around the term populism. Though the use of this term has proliferated in the last decade, in common parlance there appears to be a pejorative even alarmist connotation associated with it because of its association with authoritarian leaders and policies that exploit the fears and anxieties of the masses for short term gains. A more nuanced view of populism however situates it in the context of the disillusionment of working classes with the crisis of what Nancy Fraser calls modern hegemonic, globalized, financialized forms of capitalism. Some have even viewed it as a counter concept to neoliberal politics which remains committed to free movement of capital and deregulated finance despite bringing in some mitigating politics of recognition (Frazer 2018). Regardless of the light in which populism is viewed there are mixed views on how it is connected with democracy and democratic institutions. In this paper we move away from a value laden connotation of populism as an ideology and stay with an understanding that resonates the most easily with an Indian context - namely any policy, strategy, and movement that is redistributive in nature and as such favours the common person particularly those in subordinate positions, over the elite typically represented by large business and financial interests.
