The national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and former Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, leveled serious accusations against the Congress party on Wednesday. Speaking at an event held at Kapoor Haveli in Delhi, Kejriwal asserted that the top leadership of Congress has cozily settled with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and both parties have become two faces of the same system – money for power and power for money.
Kejriwal stated, "When Congress workers see their leaders shaking hands with the BJP, they feel betrayed. Congress and BJP are no longer two separate entities but part of the same establishment."

Kejriwal claimed that during the by-elections for five seats in Gujarat, the AAP did not field candidates against Congress, yet Congress reportedly fielded a candidate against AAP in the Vavodara seat at the BJP's behest. He accused Congress's top leadership of conspiring with BJP and stated, "I say this with full responsibility, I have evidence for this."
At a meet and greet event with party workers following victories in Punjab and Gujarat by-elections, Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann expressed gratitude for the people’s trust in their governance. Kejriwal called it a victory of faith and hope.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also remarked that AAP's governance compelled other parties to prioritize education, health, and infrastructure in their manifestos, areas historically neglected for 75 years. Kejriwal expressed confidence that based on the work done by Bhagwant Mann's government, the party could win over 100 seats in the next Punjab elections. He congratulated newly elected Gujarat MLA Gopal Italy, noting that he would give the BJP a run for their money.
