BJP leader Manoj Tiwari today targeted AAP, Congress
New Delhi:
There has been an agreement between Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress to fight a joint fight against BJP in Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Goa and Chandigarh.
Congress and AAP are part of the India Bloc, formed by opposition parties to take on the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections.
After the announcement, BJP leader Manoj Tiwari criticized the Bharat alliance partners and said that the people of Delhi “know their reality”.
Taking a dig at AAP and Congress, Mr Tiwari said, “Chor chor cousins (birds of a feather flock together).”
“Arvind Kejriwal and AAP had ousted Congress from Delhi and Punjab and now the Chief Minister is sharing the stage with Rahul Gandhi,” he said.
Mr. Tiwari said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP have done a lot of work for the common man. He said, “BJP and Narendra Modi are in everyone’s heart. The people of Delhi will decide everything because today it is clear that AAP and top Congress leaders are one and the same.”
In Delhi, the Arvind Kejriwal-led party will contest from four out of seven seats – West Delhi, South Delhi, East Delhi and New Delhi. The remaining three – North East Delhi, North West Delhi and Chandni Chowk – will go to the oldest party.
The seat-sharing announcement was made during a joint press conference of AAP and Congress, weeks after the opposition’s India Bloc achieved its first electoral victory in the Chandigarh mayoral election.
