BJP-Congress should formally declare alliance for Delhi polls: Arvind Kejriwal

Arvind Kejriwal, AAP supremo, accused Congress and BJP of covertly collaborating ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, urging them to formally declare their alliance. He also criticized Congress, claiming the party was no longer taken seriously,
