Delhi Chief Minister Atishi made some serious allegations on Thursday. She said that Congress is working with the BJP to win the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. This statement came during a press conference with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh.
Atishi claimed that Congress is trying to weaken AAP’s chances in the elections. She said that AAP had not criticized Congress during recent elections in Haryana, but Congress seems to be using strategies similar to the BJP. Singh even suggested that Congress’s list of candidates looked like it was made in a BJP office!
Both AAP leaders attacked Congress leaders Ajay Maken and Sandeep Dixit for focusing on AAP instead of the BJP. Singh was particularly upset by Maken’s comment calling Arvind Kejriwal “anti-national.” He pointed out that even though Kejriwal has supported Congress in the past, he now faces a police case (FIR), while Congress hasn’t taken any action against BJP leaders.
Atishi accused Congress of trying to sabotage AAP’s success by having Congress candidates like Sandeep Dixit and Farhad Suri secretly backed by the BJP. “This makes us question Congress’s loyalty to the INDIA alliance,” she said.
In response, AAP demanded immediate action against Maken and other Congress leaders. Singh warned that if Congress didn’t take action within 24 hours, AAP would ask other parties to kick Congress out of the INDIA alliance. With the Delhi Assembly elections coming up in February, tensions are rising, putting the future of the alliance in doubt.
