Arvind Kejriwal, the AAP's leading figure, has accused the BJP of aiming to halt essential initiatives, including free electricity, education, and healthcare, in their attempt to seize power in Delhi. He addressed threats of internal discord within AAP that could jeopardize their success in the looming Delhi Assembly elections slated for February.

In response, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva has dismissed AAP's chances, declaring that the party's fate in the 2025 elections has been sealed, pointing to AAP's dismal performance in Haryana's polls as evidence. This political tit-for-tat underscores the intensifying rivalry between the parties.

Kejriwal expressed concerns about the potential consequences if BJP gains control, particularly on public services such as education and utilities. He urged AAP workers to dedicate themselves fully in the months leading up to the elections, stressing the importance of unity and commitment in safeguarding Delhi's future initiatives.
