Aam Aadmi Party Convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Congress ahead of the Delhi Assembly Elections and claimed that the upcoming polls would uncover the long-standing alliance between the Congress and BJP, describing it as a "jugalbandi". Kejriwal also attacked BJP after Amit Malviya made a comment on the former Delhi CM attacking Rahul Gandhi.

In a post on X, Kejriwal said, "I said just one line about Rahul Gandhi, and the reply is coming from the BJP. Look how much trouble the BJP is facing. Perhaps this Delhi election will expose the 'Jugalbandi' going on behind the scenes between Congress and BJP for years."

While both AAP and Congress are part of the INDIA bloc, they have started a blame game ahead of the elections. Earlier on Monday, Arvind Kejriwal took a swipe at Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, saying that the Congress leader's fight is to save his party, whereas the former Delhi Chief Minister's fight is to "save the country." Kejriwal, while claiming that Rahul Gandhi "abused him a lot" added that he does not want to reply to his comments.

The remark by AAP Supremo came after Rahul Gandhi, while addressing a gathering at Seelampur, Delhi, criticised both the Bharatiya Janata Party and Aam Aadmi Party.

The former Congress President asked what Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had done to combat inflation and help the poor.

"I wish to ask is the inflation increasing or decreasing? What did Kejriwal and PM Modi say on inflation? They said they would reduce inflation. Has it been reduced? Poor are becoming poorer and the rich are becoming richer," Gandhi said.

He further said, "There are 100 to 150 billionaires who are controlling the country. They get all the privileges. Have you ever seen PM Modi speaking about Adani and Ambani? Has Kejriwal ever said anything about Adani?"

BJP's Reaction To Kejriwal's Remark

BJP leader Amit Malviya mocked Arvind Kejriwal saying he should worry about saving his seat for now. "Worry about the country later, save your New Delhi seat for now," he wrote on X.
