New Delhi: “Stop stopping. Let’s fight a big fight together!” After the latest aggressive aggressive of the AAP convenor against the Congress, Kapil Sibal’s advice to Arvind Kejriwal is unlikely to influence the former Chief Minister of Delhi.SIBAL, who served as Union Minister in UPA governments and is currently an independent Rajya Sabha member, after the AAP convenor, after accusing a connivance between the BJP and the Congress, Kejriwal consulted and questioned why the “big leader” of the Grand Old Party was not arrested in the National Herald case.“We keep receiving a proposal for an agreement. Now, even people are seeing that the Congress has signed an agreement with the BJP. The National Herald case is an open and closed case. But no big Congress leader went to jail. Our five big leaders were sent to jail in a fake case, “Kejriwal said in a meeting of AAP MLAs and councilors in the national capital.Citing Goa examples, the AAP supremo stressed, “People ask why BJP has sent five of the five AAP leaders to jail, but not a single Congress leader. They shout endless about the National Herald case, which I read themselves online. According to the facts, it looks like an open and shut.,Kejriwal also mentioned Haryana’s land scam cases and named Robert Wadra to highlight his point. “In 2014, the BJP created its campaign around ‘brother -in -law) (brother -in -law) and corruption, shouting about Vadra, 2G and coal scams. Nevertheless today, all those cases have been quietly closed. People are not fools. They can see the reality-that Congress and BJP are in a hidden alliance, “he said.Kejriwal and several other AAP leaders were booked and arrested in alleged liquor scam cases and other cases. All AAP leaders were eventually granted bail. However, Kejriwal resigned before the assembly elections and made Atisi the Chief Minister of Delhi.While the Congress did not react to its remarks, Sibal, who has been associated with the Grand Old Party for a long time, was in a hurry to remind Kejriwal about the results of his baseless allegations against political rivals in the past.“Kejriwal ji: When you made allegations against many politicians and others and dragged the court, you apologized! Today you made baseless allegations against the Gandhi family (National Herald case). Stop dodging. Let’s fight a big battle together! “Sibal said in a post on X.But the question is whether Kejriwal must have advised Sibal? Well, it seems that the relationship between the two parties during the last Delhi elections is unlikely when the Congress played an important role in the AAP defeat at the hands of the BJP.While both Congress and AAP are part of the opposition’s India block, both sides have a characteristic of dangers, warnings and blackmail with shared uncomfortable relations. When India Block was formed, Kejriwal conditioned AAP’s participation for support of the Congress against the Delhi Ordinance of the Center. Both parties joined hands with the 2024 Lok Sabha elections far and back in Delhi, but the experiment failed to stop the BJP from winning all 7 Lok Sabha seats in the national capital.In the assembly elections, the two colleagues turned into bitter rivals and went out to discredit each other. The Congress put all its strength against AAP, the BJP succeeded in returning to power in the national capital after a long gap of 27 years.In the Haryana assembly elections, both sides tried to stick an alliance, but could not reach a common ground. In many other states like Gujarat, Goa, AAP has successfully contested on its own and has managed to spread its reach. Until they lose elections in Delhi, AAP was the only party besides BJP and Congress, with two states in which the government was.On the other hand, the Congress remains the only opposition party with PAN-India appearance, despite all its electoral reversal in the last 11 years and hence takes the position of the major Challenger to the BJP.No attempt for broker peace between AAP and Congress is likely to succeed as the two sides remain rivals in Punjab, where assembly elections are starting in 2027. Both parties have a huge bet in the state. In the final assembly elections in 2022, AAP destroyed the Congress and came to power to win 92 out of 117 assembly seats in the state.For AAP, Punjab remains the only state where it has government and hence the party will go out to maintain the state under the leadership of Kejriwal. On the other hand, the Congress, which is quite presence in the state, will make every effort to return to power.In the given scenario, it will be difficult for AAP and Congress to come together for a big fight – 2029 Lok Sabha elections, when India block will once again try to challenge the BJP -led NDA’s dominance.
