Delhi Election 2025: Rift Between Congress and AAP Deepens, Congress Slams Kejriwal | ABP NEWS

The article from ABP News discusses the escalating tensions between the Congress party and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ahead of the 2025 Delhi elections. The rift has deepened as Congress has openly criticized AAP's leader Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of corruption and mismanagement. This comes at a time when both parties were previously part of the INDIA bloc, an opposition alliance aimed at countering the BJP. The Congress has expressed frustration over AAP's unilateral decisions and lack of coordination within the alliance, particularly highlighting Kejriwal's alleged involvement in the Delhi liquor policy scam. The discord has led to public spats, with Congress leaders questioning AAP's commitment to the alliance's goals and suggesting that AAP's actions are driven by personal political gains rather than collective opposition strategy. This internal conflict could potentially weaken the opposition's stance against the BJP in the upcoming elections.
