Will AAP join hands with Congress? What happened, Kejriwal came “against Modi” with Rahul…!
Rahul Gandhi lost his membership after being sentenced to 2 years in a criminal defamation case. More than a dozen parties have strongly opposed the snatching of the Lok Sabha membership of the former Congress president. The most vocal voice among these was that of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal himself reacted thrice in about three hours after the decision regarding Rahul’s membership. Kejriwal, who called PM Modi good and bad in defense of Rahul, supported the Congress leader even a day before when he was convicted and sentenced by the Surat court. Apart from Kejriwal, other leaders and spokespersons of AAP are also seen defending Rahul Gandhi with great energy. In such a situation, speculations have started about Congress and AAP coming closer. It is being asked whether the two parties can once again join hands before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections?
Kejriwal’s defense of Rahul Gandhi has surprised many political analysts. The reason for this is that Arvind Kejriwal, who came into politics by running an anti-corruption movement during the Congress government, has been extremely attacking the country’s oldest party. However, when the party tasted power for the first time in 2013, it was the Congress that formed Kejriwal’s government with outside support, which lasted only for 49 days. Since then, Kejriwal has never been soft towards the Congress. He wrested power from the Congress in Punjab as well, and by contesting elections in states like Goa and Gujarat, hurt the Congress more than the BJP. This is the first time that he has defended any of its leaders from the Congress party on any issue, while earlier there was no response from the Aam Aadmi Party on the action of central investigative agencies against Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. .
Will join hands in 2024, what indication did Kejriwal give?
Supporting the Congress, 14 parties, including the Aam Aadmi Party, have approached the Supreme Court alleging misuse of investigative agencies like the CBI-ED by the Modi government. The question is being raised about these 14 parties that will their unity last till the next Lok Sabha elections? During a conversation with reporters outside the Vidhan Sabha on Friday, Kejriwal was asked about his old relationship with the Congress and the current support, then he said that he should not give importance to the old things. Describing it as a fight to save the country and democracy, he told the need for everyone to unite.
Kejriwal said that the nature of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is more dangerous than the British, now people will have to come forward and fight. If we have to save India, then 130 crore people will have to fight unitedly. No matter whose government is formed, tomorrow it may be its government, but the way democracy is being attacked is not right. When Kejriwal was asked about the relationship with the Congress, he said, Relations are not important, it is important to save the country at this time. This is not Rahul Gandhi’s fight, this is not Congress’s fight. This fight is a fight to save this country, a fight to save this country from a dictator, from a less educated person, from arrogance.’ Many political analysts are telling these words of ‘AAP’ convenor a sign of future politics. . He believes that many parties including AAP can join hands with the Congress by calling for democracy. However, there is still a year left for the elections and in the meanwhile political equations can change a lot. Alliances have been breaking at the last moment due to face and number of seats.
Did trouble make them reconcile?
Arvind Kejriwal has raised his voice in support of the Congress at a time when his own party is facing a major crisis. AAP’s second biggest leader and former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia is in jail in the liquor scam. When Sisodia was arrested last month, several Congress leaders openly tried to make AAP realize that when the investigative agencies take action against the Congress leaders, they are kept silent. In such a situation, the attitude of ‘AAP’ is being linked to this as well. Leaders of most of the 14 parties that have approached the Supreme Court together are facing legal action. AAP’s national spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj said that for a long time the opposition parties were unable to come together on any issue, but now it has happened. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi himself said on Saturday that the Modi government has given a big weapon to the opposition. His reference was probably towards the unity of the opposition parties.
