Why Rahul Gandhi is finally taking Ajay Maken's advice to hit Kejriwal hard

India Today  

The February 5 Delhi assembly election is a pivotal contest for the Congress. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi openly attacked AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal and his close associate Manish Sisodia, calling them “architects” of the alleged Delhi liquor scam. The Congress is conducting micro-campaigns in areas with significant Muslim and Dalit populations, highlighting issues such as AAP’s removal of Dalit ministers and its perceived inaction during the riots in Delhi in 2020. Despite AAP’s subtle shifts towards ‘soft Hindutva’, 69 per cent of Muslims supported the party in 2020 as against 15 per cent for the Congress. “The party’s internal survey showed an 8 per cent surge in votes within just 24 hours of Rahul Gandhi’s rally in Seelampur,” claimed a senior Congress leader.
