Union Minister Giriraj Singh Criticizes Congress and AAP
Union Minister Giriraj Singh has sharply criticized both the Congress party and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He accused Congress of being the ‘Gangotri’ of corruption and labeled AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal as the current ‘mastermind’ of corrupt practices.
Seat-Sharing Talks Fail
The seat-sharing talks between Congress and AAP for the Haryana assembly polls broke down. AAP released its first list of 20 candidates, while Congress has already declared 41 candidates in the 90-member assembly.
Statements from Leaders
Sushil Gupta, Haryana chief of AAP, mentioned that they waited patiently before releasing their list. Former Haryana Chief Minister and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda expressed confidence in Congress’s victory, stating, ‘Congress aa rahi hain, BJP jaa rahi hain Haryana mein (Congress is coming, BJP is going).’ Congress leader Brijendra Singh also expressed confidence in forming the government.
