A few years ago I attended a PAN-IIT meet. The PAN-IIT meet is a get-together of the alumnii of all the IITs. There are panel discussions covering many subjects.
One panel had Arvind Kejriwal talking about corruption - Lokpal, CBI, ...
There was a bunch of us IIT Madras guys sitting together. I will not be far from the truth when I say that I was the sole non-Tamil speaking person. Arvind started his speech in Hindi. He was promptly shouted down by the IIT Madras crowd. Arvind switched to English.
If the AAP is to spread, they need committed local leadership who speak the local language. And these should be on the same standing as the founder members. That should not be much of a problem as long as the party practices inner party federalism. A "High-Command" will make it difficult..
