Wed Jan 29 00:47:00 UTC 2025: ## Rahul Gandhi Attacks Sisodia, Kejriwal in Delhi Assembly Election Rally

**NEW DELHI, January 29, 2025** – The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, launched a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) during a Delhi Assembly election rally on Tuesday. Targeting former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Gandhi accused him of fleeing his Patparganj constituency due to the “liquor scam,” noting that Sisodia was replaced by a new candidate for the upcoming February 5th election. Gandhi further criticized AAP national convener and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for his perceived absence during critical moments, such as the Delhi riots and the COVID-19 pandemic. He accused Kejriwal of being afraid of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and of failing to deliver on promises of clean politics.

Kejriwal responded swiftly on X, countering Gandhi’s accusations by bringing up the National Herald case and land dealings involving Robert Vadra. He questioned Gandhi’s moral authority to speak about fear and bravery, highlighting the ongoing legal battles faced by the Congress leader and his family. Kejriwal also implied that the BJP’s pursuit of the liquor scam was politically motivated, contrasting it with the lack of action against Congress figures in alleged corruption cases.

The verbal sparring underscores the intensifying rivalry between the Congress and AAP in the Delhi Assembly elections, despite their alliance during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Both parties are now contesting the state elections separately.
