"Chor Chor Mausere Bhai": Manoj Tiwari Slams AAP-Congress After Opposition's Delhi Seat Sharing Announcement

Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections 2024, it looks like things are back in place for the INDIA bloc. On Saturday, Arvid Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party and Rahul Gandhi's Congress announced to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections together, and a seat-sharing formula for Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Goa, and Chandigarh.

Soon after Aam Aadmi Paty and Congress' joint press conference, the BJP MP Manoj Tiwari criticised the Opposition's partnership stating the people of Delhi and other states know their reality.

Taking a dig at AAP and Congress, Manoj Tiwari said, "Chor chor Mauser bhai (birds of a feather flock together)".

"Arvind Kejriwal and AAP had ousted Congress from Delhi and Punjab and now the Chief Minister is sharing the stage with Rahul Gandhi," the BJP leader added.

Lauding his own party and the works done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Centre, Manoj Tiwari said "BJP and Narendra Modi are in everyone's hearts and now it would be easy for the people of Delhi to choose between corrupt and honest.

"People of Delhi will decide everything because today it is clear that the top leaders of AAP and Congress are one and the same," he said.

Earlier today, Congress leader Mukul Wasnik announced that alliance partner AAP will contest four seats out of the seven (West Delhi, South Delhi, East Delhi, and New Delhi), while the grand old party will file candidates on the rest of three seats (North East Delhi, North West Delhi, and Chandni Chowk).

Recently, in the Chandigarh Mayor polls, a joint candidate of AAP and Congress emerged victorious against BJP's candidate marking their first electoral win.

A day ago, Congress announced its alliance with Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party (SP) in Uttar Pradesh after a meeting with top leaders from both sides. Congress will contest 17 seats, while SP will field candidates on the rest 63 seats.
