Arvind Kejriwal was responding to a question about BJP leaders stating that social activist Medha Patkar would be AAPโ€™s chief ministerial candidate in the Gujarat assembly polls

Ahmedabad: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday attacked BJP in poll-bound Gujarat and alleged that the party is trying to make Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi as the โ€œPrime Minister through the backdoorโ€ and โ€œsuccessorโ€ to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Kejriwal was responding to a question about BJP leaders stating that social activist Medha Patkar would be AAPโ€™s chief ministerial candidate in the Gujarat assembly polls. โ€œI have heard that BJP will make Sonia Gandhi as the PM candidate after PM Modi. Ask them what they have to say on this. Ask them that Kejriwal has alleged that you are going to make Sonia Gandhi PM candidate and the successor to PM Modi at the national level. What do they have to say on this? The BJP is trying to make Sonia Gandhi the PM of the country through the backdoor. Ask them this question,โ€ Kejriwal said.

The BJP has sought to make Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) founder Medha Patkarโ€™s past ties with AAP a poll issue in Gujarat. Party leaders have said that Patkar opposed Narmada project and have talked of โ€œrenewed tiesโ€ between her and AAP.

Kejriwal alleged that the BJP โ€œhas not done anythingโ€ for the development of Gujarat and claimed it has โ€œno programme for the next five yearsโ€.

Kejriwal also claimed that the Congress party is โ€œfinishedโ€ as a party. โ€œCongress is finished. You should stop taking their questions. People no more care about their questions,โ€ Kejriwal said in response to a query.
The AAP leader has earlier urged the people not to โ€œwaste their votesโ€ on Congress. After its victory in the held Punjab Assembly elections earlier this year, AAP is seeking to expand its footprint in other states.
Gujarat will face assembly polls later this year.

The letter highlighted the policeโ€™s responsibility for maintaining safety and law and order, yet no one represents their interests or raises concerns. Hence, with the 2024 Lok Sabha elections approaching, the association proposed Sanjay Pandey as their representative, and he accepted the offer.
The letter also mentioned that Mr Pandey served in the South Mumbai constituency and was highly regarded by the local populace during his tenure. Therefore, the association believes his nomination would benefit the party due to his popularity.

The associationโ€™s president assured the UBT leader that if Sanjay Pandeyโ€™s candidacy is confirmed, thousands of retired police personnel would support his campaign by setting up stands in the South Central Mumbai constituency. The letter concluded with an earnest request to Uddhav Thackeray to consider Pandeyโ€™s nomination.
