Calling the alliance between his celebration and the AAP within the nationwide capital within the Lok Sabha election held earlier this yr a ‘mistake’, Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav stated Sunday there could be no alliance with any celebration within the upcoming Meeting elections within the Union Territory.
The Aam Aadmi Social gathering and Congress are a part of the INDIA bloc and contested polls in alliance in Delhi, Gujarat, and Goa.
Yadav, who was on the helm of the Delhi Congress even on the time of the Lok Sabha elections 2024, instructed The Indian Specific, “Errors are made as soon as and are to not be repeated again and again. By forming an alliance with the AAP up to now, the Congress confronted the results. There shall be no alliance with the AAP or some other celebration sooner or later.”
Talking about its senior chief and five-time MLA from Seelampur, Mateen Ahmed becoming a member of the AAP on Sunday, Yadav stated “opportunistic individuals can change loyalties”. Ahmed, who was related to the Congress for almost twenty years, joined the AAP earlier within the day.
Ahmed, a veteran chief from Northeast Delhi, contested and received 5 elections from Seelampur, three underneath the Congress banner. His shift to the ruling AAP follows the current entry of his son, Zubair Chaudhary, a Congress District President, and his daughter-in-law, Shagufta Chaudhary, who’s an MCD councillor. Their transfer to the AAP occurred about two weeks in the past.
Shortly after Zubair and Shagufta’s induction into the AAP, the sitting Seelampur MLA Abdul Rehman resigned as chief of the celebration’s minority wing.
Talking to The Indian Specific, Shagufta had confirmed that Zubair is predicted to be the AAP’s candidate for the Seelampur seat, changing Rehman. She added their resolution to modify events was influenced by Congress’s unwillingness to ally with the AAP, regardless of overtures from the ruling celebration in Delhi.
Devender Yadav, when requested if the defection of celebration members would alter the Congress’s stance on an alliance with the AAP, firmly dismissed the thought. “Folks are actually hoping for change, and so they consider within the Congress,” he stated.
