Kejriwal takes a jibe at Ashok Gehlot, says ‘People believe BJP and Congress are fighting against AAP’
AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday also took a jibe at senior Congress leader and former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, who called AAP the ‘vipaksh’ (opposition) at a Congress poll event in Delhi. Kejriwal said people believe the BJP and Congress are contesting the elections together against AAP.
“Shri Gehlot ji. You made it clear that AAP is the opposition to Congress in Delhi. You remained silent on BJP. People also felt that AAP is the opposition for Congress and BJP is its partner. People also believed that BJP and Congress are fighting the elections together against AAP,” Kejriwal said in a post on X. He added, “Till now this cooperation between you two was secret. Today you have made it public. Thank you on behalf of the people of Delhi for this clarification.”
Earlier, Gehlot said that AAP is now the opposition to Congress, and the situation in Delhi has changed. He added that Congress is running a stronger campaign this time, and the results will be different.
