Cong ready to give AAP 4 seats, but Kejriwal made U-turn: Rahul Gandhi

Date:

A day after AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal said that he is willing to do all that it would take to defeat PM Modi in the ongoing Lok Sabha election 20919, Rahul Gandhi tweeted saying that an alliance with AAP would mean the end of BJP. He then accused Kejriwal of taking a U-turn.

“An alliance between the Congress and AAP in Delhi would mean the rout of the BJP. The Congress is willing to give up 4 Delhi seats to the AAP to ensure this. But, Mr Kejriwal has done yet another U turn! Our doors are still open, but the clock is running out,” he said.

Kejriwal was quick to hit back, “What U-turn? The talks were still on. Your tweet shows that you are not interested in an alliance but only want to brag about it. It is unfortunate that in UP and other states, you are helping Modi by dividing the anti-Modi votes,” he wrote.

While Rahul may have said Congress is willing to give up four seats in Delhi, AAP has reportedly been keen on a joint fight elsewhere. Last week, AAP MP Sanjay Singh had said that the prospect of an alliance was over. “They don’t have any MLA or MP in Delhi but are demanding three seats here,” he had told news agency ANI on Wednesday. “In Punjab, we (AAP) have four MPs and 20 MLAs but Congress does not want to share seats there. Same is the situation in Haryana, Goa and Chandigarh. So, this alliance is not possible.”

While Kejriwal too said that he is confident AAP would win all seven seats in Delhi with or without Congress, he held out an olive branch.

Meanwhile, several BJP leaders have highlighted how AAP and Congress are struggling to form an ‘unholy alliance’ just to challenge PM Modi.
