The national capital is witnessing a direct showdown between the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the BJP. Both parties are trading barbs and accusing each other of irregularities in the upcoming elections. Congress seems to be lagging far behind in the competition. Rahul Gandhi has lately started attacking the AAP chief claiming that Arvind Kejriwal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi both are the same in doing false promises.
He also raised questions over the 10 years reign of the Aam Aadmi Party in the national capital. He asked, “Did Kejriwal end corruption, control pollution, clean Delhi?” He also said, “When I talk about the caste census, not a word comes out of the mouth of PM Modi and Arvind Kejriwal. Because both of them want that backward classes, Dalits, tribals and minorities do not get participation.”
