Delhi, January 14, 2025: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has also entered the election battle in Delhi. In his first rally, he launched a sharp attack on Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal. Challenging Kejriwal, he asked whether he supports increasing privatization or is against it. He also demanded that Kejriwal clarify his stance on conducting a caste-based census.
Rahul Gandhi further stated, “When Kejriwal came, Sheila Ji’s government was in power. Do you remember? Kejriwal campaigned saying he would clean Delhi, turn it into Paris, and eliminate corruption. The pollution is so high that it’s impossible to even go outside. Cancer rates are rising. He promised to end corruption, but what has he actually ended? Has corruption ended? Just like Modi Ji makes false promises, Kejriwal makes the same ones. There’s no difference between the two.”
Attacking Kejriwal strongly during a rally in Seelampur, Rahul Gandhi said, “You won’t find Dalits, Adivasis, and backward people in the judiciary. Kejriwal and Modi will talk about them, but when it comes to giving them participation, only Congress will do that. Tell Kejriwal to publicly state that he wants to increase privatization and conduct a caste-based census.”
Attack on Sheila Dikshit’s name:
Rahul Gandhi stated that the work done by Sheila Dikshit is something only Congress can achieve. Neither the BJP nor Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party can do it. He questioned what Modi and Kejriwal had said about inflation, claiming they promised it would decrease, but instead, it has increased. The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer.
Summary: Rahul Gandhi criticized Modi and Kejriwal for failed promises on inflation, praised Sheila Dikshit’s work as unique to Congress, and highlighted growing inequality.
