New Delhi, 26 December (HS): Indi alliance in Delhi has not only disintegrated but swords have been drawn between Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Congress leader Ajay Maken had made objectionable remarks on Arvind Kejriwal yesterday and leveled serious allegations. Today, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and AAP MP Sanjay Singh hit back at Congress in a joint press conference. AAP said that Congress should be removed from Indi alliance.

AAP leader and Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh alleged that Congress is standing in favor of BJP in Delhi. Ajay Maken reads BJP's script and curses AAP leaders. Yesterday, he called AAP convenor Kejriwal anti-national. Has Ajay Maken said this to any BJP leader till date? What kind of statement is this? Kejriwal who campaigned for Congress candidates in Delhi and Chandigarh, we stood with Congress in Parliament, the leaders of the same party (Youth Congress) are filing an FIR against Kejriwal. We wanted to fight the Haryana elections together with Congress but the alliance did not happen because of Congress. Despite this, none of our leaders spoke a word against Congress leaders. Today, looking at the list of Congress candidates, it is clear as if it is coming from the BJP office.

Sanjay Singh said in a very harsh tone, I will talk to Congress for the audacity shown by Ajay Maken and his party. Congress party should take action against Maken in the next 24 hours. If this does not happen, then we will talk to other allies of the Indi alliance and get Congress out of the Indi alliance.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi said that the statements and actions of Congress have proved that it has joined hands with BJP. Atishi expressed strong objection to Maken's objectionable comment about Kejriwal yesterday. Atishi said that yesterday a Congress leader lodged an FIR against Kejriwal and me (Aatishi). Has anyone ever lodged a complaint or FIR against BJP before this? We have come to know from official sources that the expenses of Congress candidates are coming from BJP. She alleged that the election funding of Sandeep Dixit and Farhad Suri is being done by BJP. Atishi asked that when Congress feels that we are anti-national then why did we fight the Lok Sabha elections together? She alleged that Congress has joined hands with BJP to defeat AAP in Delhi Assembly elections.
