As Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal kickstarted their campaigns in the national capital on Saturday, it kept Delhiites guessing on the reported fissures in the alliance between the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Addressing a packed Ramlila Ground in Ashok Vihar in the Chandni Chowk constituency, Rahul made a concerted push for the alliance between the two parties in Delhi, which he said was a "united front" to counter the BJP. Rahul's rally was attended by four AAP MLAs - Rajesh Gupta, Bandana Kumari, Pawan Sharma, and Akhilesh Tripathi. Imran Hussain, the food and supplies minister of Delhi was also present. Several leaders from the AAP youth wing were also present lending their support to the alliance.
Workers also displayed banners, flags and donned t-shirts emblazoned with the logo of the Opposition INDIA bloc.
"Our workers (Congress and AAP) have come together to save the Constitution," the senior Congress leader said, as he trained his guns on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "Kanhaiya ji just told me that it's strange how Kejriwal ji will press the Congress party button and I will press the AAP button," Rahul added during his public meeting at Ashok Vihar.
