M.P. civic polls | In a similar pitch, both Kejriwal and Owaisi accuse Congress, BJP of having a ‘secret pact’

Campaigning for their respective party candidates contesting the Madhya Pradesh civic polls on Saturday, both Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi accused the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress of having a secret pact. 

In Singrauli, Mr. Kejriwal used the term “setting” to accuse the BJP and the Congress of a symbiotic political relationship. “It’s an endless game of Congress and BJP taking turns to rule across the country. They don’t work. They indulge in setting to rule for five years alternatively but people of Delhi disrupted this setting and voted the AAP to power,” he said while addressing the public at a rally in support of his party’s mayoral candidate Rani Agrawal. 

The Delhi Chief Minister assured the gathering that if elected, AAP candidates will deliver on civic issues and cited “the fulfilled promises of free water and power” in the National Capital.
