Former Infosys Director V Balakrishnan joined AAP on Wednesday, while former Royal Bank of Scotland CEO Meera Sanyal joined the party a day later. Mr Balakrishnans former colleague at Infosys and prominent member of India Inc Mohandas Pai speaking to NDTV said, They are joining politics now for a very important reason...there is a deep sense of anger and frustration about the high inflation, bad governance that has happened in the past 4-5 years. They (AAP) have revolutionised politics in this country, Im fascinated with it, Mr Balakrishnan had said after announcing his membership of AAP. While Mr Balakrishnans entry into politics came as a surprise to many, Ms Sanyals wasnt as big a surprise as there was already word on the Street that she may join the party after having campaigned for AAP in the run-up to the Delhi polls. Mr Pai said AAPs spectacular debut in the Delhi elections bears testimony to the fact that people want a change. ...the UPA has let down the people of this country...its very very clear and people are angry and upset. They want an alternative. (Narendra) Modi was an alternative that came. But AAP usurped the Modi alternative to an extent in Delhi and may be in the urban areas, Mr Pai said.
