AAP
MLAs developed an understanding that once people vote for the Congress, they might not vote for AAP in the upcoming Delhi assembly lections ... Internally, regularly for two months, a conspiracy was being hatched against me in North-West Delhi. Congress party workers ran an anti-Brahmin and anti-Jaat campaign on social media and said that I was an outsider, Udit Raj said.
"BJP did nothing wrong ... There exist many Congress in Delhi. One that runs at the local level and one that runs at the National level ... BJP did not oppose at any level but our own party workers played cards against me. The same people are rising through the ranks in the party. People responsible for the loss of the party are being promoted ... BJP's internal survey said I would win. I was sabotaged internally by my own party," the leader lamented.
