Delhi Election 2025: As the Delhi election 2025 is only 10 days ahead, the blame game among the parties has intensified. Going one step further, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has now shared a poster also featuring Rahul Gandhi among other leaders, adding him to the "dishonest" list. While the AAP and Congress are still allies and part of the INDIA bloc, both the parties have never left a single opportunity to attack each-other.

"Kejriwal ki imandari sare beyimano par padegi bhari [Kejriwal's honesty will take on the dishonest]," reads the caption of the poster which also features Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath among several others.

Notably, AAP and Congress are not fighting the Delhi elections together despite being part of one alliance. Alliance partners, Shiv Sena (UBT), Samajwadi Party, and the Trinamool Congress also backed AAP over the Congress, further increasing friction between the two parties.

The Congress has been criticising the AAP for the lack of development in Delhi and alleged corruption, pointing to the delay in presenting reports from the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) in the Delhi assembly and the purported scam linked to the now-canceled Delhi excise policy.

On Saturday, Congress candidate from the Kalkaji assembly constituency, Alka Lamba, challenged Kejriwal to leave the INDIA alliance.

"Congress party is standing strong with 100 MPs and Arvind Kejriwal is the one who gave all the 7 seats to BJP. You (Kejriwal) were begging in front of us for alliance during the Lok Sabha elections. Congress made the biggest mistake by forming an alliance with your party for the 7 seats in Delhi. Congress party had to face a huge loss because of this," Lamba said.

Meanwhile, AAP has claimed Congress is in "secret alliance" with the BJP.

"On the issue of the BJP distributing black money, voter addition-deletion issue, the Congress party is silent. They are silent on the black deeds of the BJP. They (Congress) should declare their unholy alliance with BJP openly," alleged AAP spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar.
