BJP responds to AAP-Congress tussle
In its first response to the ongoing AAP-Congress tussle in the national capital, BJP said that both parties were trying to win votes of a particular section of the society by indulging in such fights. Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said his party has been fighting alone against Congress and the AAP for last 27 years in the city.
“Till some months back, Kejriwal was ferrying Congress candidates in his car, then he was very happy; but now things have changed. Both the parties can see their defeat in the upcoming Delhi polls, so they are now trying to fool the voters with such claims and allegations against each other. But, now public has seen their real faces,” said Sachdeva.
