The AAP, BJP as well as the Congress have announced a slew of welfare measures ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections scheduled for February 5.

The party’s public claims of Congress being irrelevant aside, there are around 10 constituencies in the city where the AAP is keeping a close watch on the grand old party’s campaign.

The AAP on Wednesday slammed the BJP after its leader Parvesh Verma reportedly labelled vehicles with Punjab registration plates in Delhi as a “security threat” ahead of the Republic Day. AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal and senior leader Sanjay Singh condemned the remarks, calling them an affront to the Punjabi community.

AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal launched a scathing attack on Congress stating the grand old party is fighting the Delhi election with BJP to defeat the Aam Aadmi Party.

The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi received a jolt a few days before the conduct of the assembly elections in the national capital. Four leaders, including two municipal councillors from AAP, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday.
