Dear AAP, do yourself a favour, assert yourself and stop begging Congress for alliance

Op India  

Days before Gujarat election results were announced we wrote what the result could mean for Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal. This is what we wrote in Dec 2017: “Basically, Congress has decided to assert itself for the 2019 general elections and they want to reclaim the political space they had given to AAP on lease. Kejriwal probably understands that he is on a sticky wicket and that’s why has tried to woo Congress to form an alliance on 7 seats of Delhi. Only reason AAP supporters tolerate Kejriwal standing next to Rahul Gandhi, Mayawati, Lalu so that Modi can be defeated. If the Mahagathbandhan manages to throw BJP out and forms a govt under Congress leadership, next question for AAP would be, “Now that Modi is defeated, when can we go back to our basic promise of clean politics”.
