Summary
Raghav Chadha claims that the controversy over the Sheesh Mahal significantly harmed AAP's reputation and contributed to their loss in the Delhi elections. Allegations of corruption against Arvind Kejriwal regarding the construction of a luxurious residence during the COVID-19 pandemic have intensified political tensions.
BJP's Parvesh Verma accused former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of corruption, labeling him as Delhi's Rahman Dakeit. This accusation has fueled the ongoing rivalry between AAP and BJP, with both parties exchanging allegations of misconduct.
In response, AAP leader Atishi dismissed the allegations as false and challenged the BJP to disclose the truth about their own leaders' residences. The political rivalry has intensified with former AAP members joining the BJP, leading to accusations of betrayal between the two parties.
Sanjay Singh, an Aam Aadmi Party MP, intends to file a disqualification petition against Raghav Chadha and six other MPs who have defected to the Bharatiya Janata Party. Singh accuses the defectors of betrayal, alleging that their departure reflects deceptive political tactics and a departure from the party's core principles.
