Delhi Mahila Congress president Sharmistha Mukherjee is asking former finance minister the reason INC is gloating over AAP victory while they are defeated.
New Delhi| Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP won 62 of Delhi’s 70 seats, the BJP was limited to eight and Indian National Congress could not open their account.
While many politicians from the opposition have congratulated Arvind Kejriwal for winning Delhi Elections 2020, P Chidambaram faced the fury of his party member for lauding the victory since INC could not even secure one seat in Delhi.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)’s a big win in the Delhi election has opened up a rift within the Congress, which suffered its second back-to-back duck in the capital. Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram posted a tweet “saluting” the people of Delhi for defeating the BJP and was called out by his own party spokesperson, Sharmistha Mukherjee for the same.

With due respect sir, just want to know- has @INCIndia outsourced the task of defeating BJP to state parties? If not, then why r we gloating over AAP victory rather than being concerned abt our drubbing? And if ‘yes’, then we (PCCs) might as well close shop! https://t.co/Zw3KJIfsRx
