It is no secret that both the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress Party have thirty-six members, although both are members of the Indian Alliance. On the contrary, it is better to say that Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal has started to see himself as a rival to the Congress and Rahul Gandhi. Arvind Kejriwal has maintained a distance from the Congress and seems eager to see himself as Rahul Gandhi’s replacement. Kejriwal’s desperation is confirmed by such reports, in which he is formulating a strategy to distance himself from the Congress. Now, Arvind Kejriwal’s party says he will travel to Maharashtra and Jharkhand to campaign for the Indian Union Party, but he can only campaign for parties other than the Congress.
Apparently, he made such an offer to carve out a place for himself among the opposition leaders with pan-India leadership influence. Apparently, the only leader in the opposition who has reached this level is Rahul Gandhi. Incidentally, the pan-India call also includes Mamata Banerjee, Akhilesh Yadav and others. But the problem with these leaders is that they are stuck in their own rut. Arvind Kejriwal has ample time and opportunity at this point. Obviously, for this, Kejriwal first has to get rid of the Congress. As the situation develops, she said news will soon come that she will announce that she will not contest the Lok Sabha elections from Delhi.
1- There doesn’t seem to be any partnership between them in the Delhi Assembly elections.
As things stand, it seems there won’t be any organization between the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress in Delhi. No Congress MP has entered the Delhi Assembly in the past 10 years. In this case, the Congress may claim that its base is strong, but one wonders whether the seat-sharing offer it has received deserves respect.
In Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party can present the same proposal to Congress as it did in Haryana. This means the Congress is likely to get some unimportant defeat seats in the Delhi Assembly elections. The Congress made a similar proposal to the Aam Aadmi Party in Haryana, the TMC made a similar proposal to the Congress during the Lok Sabha elections and the SP in the UP by-elections China has also made a similar offer to the Congress party, which in any case has hardly any partners in the Delhi Assembly elections.
Yes, one thing that may also happen is that the Aam Aadmi Party may offer a Congress candidate like Akhilesh Yadav to contest the elections under its symbol. But just like the UP by-elections, will the Congress remain silent and consider the AAP candidate in Delhi as the candidate of the Indian Union? Clearly Congress will never accept this.
2- A campaign to marginalize the Congress party in the states under the influence of the Indian League.
Just as the Indian Union states are trying to marginalize the Congress party, the same is certainly happening in Delhi. In any case, if the Congress aims to defeat the BJP, then it must take decisions blindly, without considering profit or loss. Because it wants to marginalize Congressional allies in every state where they have come to power or dream of coming to power. Just look at Jammu and Kashmir. It was only after the Indian Alliance came to power that preparations began to marginalize the Congress Party. Perhaps that is why the Congress did not see fit to join the Jammu and Kashmir cabinet. and a commitment to external support. Akhilesh Yadav remains far from power in Uttar Pradesh but he does not want the Congress to take root in the state. In West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee treated the Congress in a way that the Congress will never forget. The Congress party, which performed best in the Maharashtra Lok Sabha elections, has its allies making it clear that an equal number of seats will be given to them. Notably, the Maharashtra MVA has decided that the Congress, Shinde Sena and NCP will contest on equal seats. Each room has 85 seats.
In fact, the same problem exists everywhere, be it Maharashtra, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh or Bengal. In every state, local parties base their parties on Congress’s core vote bank. The core voters of the Congress are minorities and Dalits. Today, the core votes of the Samajwadi Party, Aam Aadmi Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, TMC, NCP, etc. are the same as those of the Congress. Political analysts believe all of them believe their core voters will return if Congress returns. In this case, the politics of people like Arvind Kejriwal, Mamata Banerjee and Akhilesh Yadav will come to an end.
3- Aam Aadmi Party and Congress also protested openly in Delhi.
With just two weeks left, Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said we have decided to contest the Delhi Assembly elections alone. Kakkar said we have the ability to stand alone against the overconfident Congress and the arrogant Bharatiya Janata Party. The Congress did not win any seats in the Delhi Assembly in the past decade, despite this, the Aam Aadmi Party gave three seats to the Congress in the Lok Sabha elections. The people of the Indian Haryana Assembly Election Alliance got a chance to speak. There are many such seats in Haryana and the votes obtained by the Congress and the Aadmi Party combined can reduce the number of seats for the BJP.
On the Congress’ defeat in Haryana, Kejriwal had said that people should not be overconfident and his jibe was directed at the Congress, which was guilty of not supporting Haryana’s Aam Aad The mistake of the US party.
