Overview
- Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav is heard in an interview saying the party contested to defeat AAP even if the BJP benefited, citing a decision taken in a CEC meeting with Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi.
- AAP leaders accuse Congress of colluding with the BJP, pointing to reported cash collections of about ₹44 crore out of roughly ₹46 crore spent and the lack of a visible ground campaign.
- Saurabh Bharadwaj says Congress fielded senior leaders against AAP’s top brass, including Sandeep Dikshit versus Arvind Kejriwal, Farhad Suri versus Manish Sisodia, and Alka Lamba versus Atishi.
- Congress rejects the claims as baseless and based on selectively edited remarks, counter‑alleging that AAP has helped the BJP by splitting Opposition votes in multiple states.
- Official results from February show the BJP won 48 of 70 Delhi Assembly seats, AAP took 22, and Congress won none, with no independent probe publicly reported yet into the cash‑receipt allegation.
