Delhi Leader of Opposition and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi has strongly responded to Union Minister Kiren Rijiju's remarks alleging an internal collapse within the party. Rijiju had claimed that several AAP leaders left the party voluntarily and suggested that only a small core group remains with Arvind Kejriwal.
Atishi Dismisses BJP Claims
Countering the statement, Atishi dismissed these claims and accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of repeatedly declaring AAP's political 'end' over the years. She said that despite such predictions, the Aam Aadmi Party has continued to expand its presence across states. The party has formed government in Delhi multiple times and strengthened its position in Punjab, while also making electoral gains in other regions.
Allegations of Misuse of Agencies
Atishi further alleged that the BJP narrative reflects political insecurity and said that central agencies are being misused to target opposition leaders. She maintained that AAP represents an alternative political force that continues to grow despite sustained attacks and criticism.
Ongoing Political Confrontation
The exchange adds to the ongoing political confrontation between BJP and AAP, with both sides intensifying their messaging ahead of upcoming political battles. Atishi's strong rebuttal underscores the deepening rift between the two parties as they prepare for future electoral contests.
