AAP “Fishing In Congress’ Waters” As Arvind Kejriwal Plots Re-Election Bid
New Delhi:
The Aam Aadmi Party is “fishing” in the Congress‘ waters for “strong candidates” before the 2025 Delhi election, sources told NDTV Thursday. The focus, sources said, is on stymying that party’s revival – notwithstanding a national-level alliance between the two INDIA bloc partners – in the city.
The AAP and the Congress managed to find common ground for the April-June federal election but have been unable to agree deals since for state polls. The most recent example of this was last month’s Haryana election, which the Congress lost amid criticism its state unit refused to share seats.
Meanwhile, AAP boss Arvind Kejriwal will personally run point on his party’s solo bid to win a third consecutive Delhi Assembly election, sources said. The ex-Chief Minister – who resigned September after (finally) securing bail in the alleged liquor policy scam – will “micro-manage” the re-election bid.
