Nothing is final in Indian politics till it is really final
Though Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have spoken of contesting the upcoming Delhi Assembly polls independently, there are talks that the two might be rekindling their past affections. Recently, the senior leader Sharad Pawar held a meeting wherein, AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal, his trusted Parliamentary aide and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, his lawyer in the excise scam case and Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s close aide participated. Also, the stage was set for the senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to hold a meeting with leaders of the party’s Delhi unit and people who have been part of its month-long ‘Dilli Nyay Yatra’ Wednesday. On Tuesday night though came the message that the event had been cancelled and the meeting called off due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’. Now it is said that the backchannels will spring a surprise. So, again it is proved, nothing is final in Indian politics till it is really final.
