Factional rift in Delhi Congress after Lovely's resignation; AAP calls it ally's internal matter

The resignation of Arvinder Singh Lovely, the head of the Delhi Congress, in opposition to the party's alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has brought internal disagreements within the Congress to the forefront.

 A faction of party leaders called for the removal of Deepak Babaria, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) in-charge, following Lovely's departure.

Babaria acknowledged that Lovely's resignation was ill-timed, as it occurred during ongoing general elections, but maintained that it wouldn't impact the Congress, while the AAP regarded it as an internal matter of its ally arrangement.

The BJP criticised the alliance, arguing that it was an "unnatural" made by the leadership of AAP and Congress to cover their corruption, pointing out that their party workers had not accepted it.
