New Delhi [India], January 14: Haryana Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) President Sushil Gupta criticized Rahul Gandhi’s remarks about Arvind Kejriwal, stating that Congress has failed to win any seats in Delhi for the last decade and is likely to face the same outcome again. He also accused Gandhi of using derogatory language against Kejriwal, similar to the tactics of the BJP.
Gupta said, “Rahul Gandhi has not won a single seat in Delhi for the past 10 years, and he won’t win any this time either. The BJP hides its agenda and only targets Arvind Kejriwal with abuses, and Rahul Gandhi did exactly the same in his recent Delhi rally.”
On Monday, during a public rally in Seelampur, Delhi, Rahul Gandhi criticized both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He questioned the actions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in tackling inflation and helping the poor.
“I want to ask whether inflation is increasing or decreasing? What have Kejriwal and PM Modi done about it? They promised to reduce inflation. Has it been reduced? The poor are getting poorer, and the rich are getting richer,” Gandhi said. He also targeted billionaires, saying, “There are 100 to 150 billionaires controlling the country, and they receive all the privileges. Have you ever heard Modi speak about Adani and Ambani? Has Kejriwal ever spoken about Adani?”
In response, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hit back, stating that Rahul Gandhi’s remarks were focused on saving his party, while Kejriwal’s fight is for the nation. Kejriwal, who claimed to have been heavily criticized by Gandhi, added, “Rahul Gandhi may have abused me a lot today, but I won’t comment on his statements. His fight is to save the Congress; my fight is to save the country.”
The Delhi assembly elections are scheduled for February 5, with vote counting set to take place on February 8. In the previous two elections, the Congress, which held power for 15 years in Delhi, failed to secure any seats, while AAP dominated the 2020 elections with 62 out of 70 seats.
