Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal Clash Intensifies Ahead of Delhi Assembly Elections
Congress and AAP escalate attacks as civic issues and past promises dominate the campaign for the February 5 polls.
- Rahul Gandhi criticized Arvind Kejriwal's 2019 promise to transform Delhi into a city as clean as Paris, highlighting garbage, pollution, and poor infrastructure in a viral video and public rally.
- Kejriwal responded by accusing Gandhi of aligning with the BJP and claimed the Congress leader verbally attacked him during a recent rally.
- The Congress is focusing its campaign on the achievements of Sheila Dikshit's 15-year tenure, promising to restore a clean and developed Delhi if elected.
- The AAP, seeking a third consecutive term, dismissed Congress's chances, pointing to its failure to win any Delhi Assembly seats in the last two elections.
- The Delhi Assembly elections on February 5 will see a three-way contest between AAP, BJP, and Congress, with results to be declared on February 8.
