Delhi Elections 2025: Kejriwal Accuses BJP And Congress Of Hidden ‘Jugalbandi’ Amid Rising Tensions

As the Delhi Assembly elections approach, the political temperature is soaring, with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal making a bold claim about a possible covert alliance between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress. This remark came after a BJP leader reacted strongly to Kejriwal’s comments about Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, prompting speculation about undisclosed political ties.

Kejriwal’s 'Jugalbandi’ Allegation: What Sparked It?

Kejriwal took to social media platform X to suggest that the BJP’s reaction to his statement about Rahul Gandhi was unusually strong, indicating a hidden partnership between the two national parties. He hinted that this "Jugalbandi" might become clearer as the election progresses.

Despite Gandhi’s sharp criticism of him at a rally in Seelampur, Kejriwal chose not to retaliate, stating,"Rahul Gandhi came to Delhi and abused me a lot. But I will not comment on his statements. His fight is to save Congress, my fight is to save the country."

This strategic move positions Kejriwal as a leader focused on national issues rather than party rivalries.

BJP Joins the Battle: Malviya’s Counterattack

BJP leader Amit Malviya quickly responded to Kejriwal’s remarks, stating that before attempting to "save the country," Kejriwal should focus on securing his seat in New Delhi. This exchange underscores the intense three-way contest shaping up in Delhi, where each party is not only defending its policies but also questioning the credibility of its opponents.

Rahul Gandhi’s Attack on Modi & Kejriwal

At his rally, Rahul Gandhi accused both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Kejriwal of failing to address inflation and economic disparities. He alleged that while billionaires like Adani and Ambani continue to grow richer, the common man suffers. Gandhi also questioned why both Modi and Kejriwal remain silent on corporate influence over national policies.
