AAP's Sanjay Singh Alleges Foul Play as CM Residence Stays Unallocated

AAP's Sanjay Singh questions the delay in allocating the Delhi CM residence to Atishi, hinting at BJP's political tactics. He also criticizes Congress for dismissing alliance talks in Haryana. As BJP claims victory in Haryana, AAP gears up for solo Delhi elections in 2025.

AAP leader Sanjay Singh has raised concerns over the delay in assigning the Chief Minister's residence to Atishi, following its vacated status since October 4 by former CM Arvind Kejriwal. Singh accused the BJP of employing underhanded tactics, alleging that when defeated, they resort to occupying the CM House. He underscored Kejriwal's vacating of the premises and pointed out that despite its supposed allocation to the new CM, it remains unallocated. Atishi had already engaged with staff at the camp office, which now stands vacated.

Singh also criticized Congress for their apparent hesitance to form an alliance with AAP in the Haryana elections. Highlighting the INDIA alliance's significant vote share, he remarked on Congress's reluctance despite securing a majority. Singh specifically mentioned Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda's dismissive stance towards AAP, questioning the feasibility of an alliance under such circumstances.

The results of the Haryana elections revealed a third consecutive win for the BJP, securing 48 out of 90 seats, while Congress claimed 37 seats. Reflecting on these results, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal urged party workers to eschew overconfidence and focus on the imminent Delhi assembly elections, slated for early 2025. AAP spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar announced AAP's decision to contest alone, countering the perceived arrogance of their political rivals and emphasizing a decade of proven achievements from the party.
