The secret alliance between the BJP and the Congress may finally be out in the open. On Monday, as the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) holds elections for Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Rohini Zone’s Ward Committee, all eyes will be on where Congress’s loyalties lie. With the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the BJP-backed Indraprastha Vikas Party (IVP) locked in a direct contest, the Congress—holding two crucial votes—must show its hand.
AAP Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj posted on X, “On Monday, elections will be held for the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Rohini Zone of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. On one side is the BJP-supported IBP panel, and on the other is the Aam Aadmi Party’s panel. The President of Delhi Congress should clarify which side Congress’s two councillors will vote for on Monday. The relationship between the Congress and the BJP will come to light on Monday.”
