Arvind Kejriwal 'Hitler', 'Delhi CM Will Be Arrested': All That Came Before AAP-Congress Pact

arvind kejriwal 'hitler', 'delhi cm will be arrested': all that came before aap-congress pact

lok sabha elections 2024 | arvind kejriwal ‘hitler’, ‘delhi cm will be arrested’: all that came before aap-congress pact

Once archrivals, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress sealed seat-sharing for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections on Saturday, February 2. Multiple rounds of meetings, disagreements, decisions to go it alone, renewed negotiations came before the two parties shook hands. A formal alliance between AAP and Congress is a poignant moment in Indian politics. AAP was born out of a India Against Corruption movement, a grassroot mobilisation against corruption in the Congress-led UPA regime. Arvind Kejriwal was once Sonia Gandhi’s fiercest critic. But now, a pact has been made, and both parties have come together with the stated goal of defeating the BJP.

But a pact between AAP and Congress comes with the promise of drama. Only in January, the Congress compared Arvind Kejriwal to Adolf Hitler, the leader of Germany in the Second World War accused of causing the genocide of six million Jews. Punjab Congress leader Pratap Singh Bajwa made the comment merely hours after the Congress and AAP were talking alliance in Punjab. The alliance in Punjab is not happening. Arvind Kejriwal has said the it was a ‘mutual’ decision of the two parties to contest in alliance in Punjab.

For now, AAP and Congress have decided to fight the polls together in five states and Union Territories, including Delhi, where the AAP has been in power since 2013. In Delhi, AAP with contest four out of seven seats and the Congress three. In Gujarat, the Congress will contest 24 out of 26 seats and AAP will contest two seats. In Haryana, AAP will contest one out of the 10 seats, while Congress will contest the remaining nine.

AAP and Congress announced their alliance only a day after an AAP leader and a minister in the Arvind Kejriwal government said he has received information that the Delhi Chief Minister will be arrested if a seat-sharing agreement is reached. “We were told that the moment AAP stitches a multi-state alliance with the Congress, Arvind Kejriwal will be arrested. A notice to arrest Arvind Kejriwal will be served by evening or tomorrow,” AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said at a press conference on Friday.

On Saturday, as AAP-Congress announced their alliance, Delhi BJP leader Manoj Tiwari sought to remind the Delhi Chief Minister of all he used to say about the Congress. “You must have heard chor chor mausere bhai. This is what is happening between AAP and Congress. AAP workers are disappointed because Arvind Kejriwal used to speak about putting Congress leaders in jail but he is now at their feet,” he said.
