AAP and Congress Engage in a Bitter Word War While the I.N.D.I.A. Battles Over Seat-Sharing

The simplest narrative a mother in Delhi or Punjab may tell her child is ‘Ek thi Congress… (Once there was a Congress)’, as Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann put it on Monday, mocking the Congress. at response to Mann on Tuesday, Congressman Sandeep Dikshit stated that mothers will soon claim that there was a party that was held at Tihar Jail. He enquired as to which party has 40% of its leaders behind bars and the remaining members are getting ready to leave? The verbal spat occurs during discussions on seat sharing in the I.N.D.I.a coalition for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Dikshit took aim at the current state of affairs between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The Delhi Excise Policy fraud has been the subject of ED scrutiny towards the AAP for the past year. Numerous financial violations allegedly occurred throughout the said policy’s execution. The ED is thoroughly investigating the matter. In connection with the case, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and former Minister Satyendra Jain have both been imprisoned.

In this regard, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was also called by the ED. Nevertheless, the Aam Aadmi Party’s national convenor has been ignoring the most recent summons. He will now likely show up before the ED on Wednesday to be questioned on the same issue.
