Congress leader Rahul Gandhi strongly criticised Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday. While speaking at a public meeting in Hauz Qazi Chowk, he reminded people that Kejriwal had once promised to clean the Yamuna River. Gandhi then challenged Kejriwal to take a dip in the river to show that it was actually clean.

Rahul Gandhi criticises former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for not fulfilling his promise to clean the Yamuna River. He reminded people that Kejriwal had promised to bring a new political system and end corruption. Gandhi pointed out that Kejriwal also said he would clean the Yamuna within five years and take a dip in it, but the river is still dirty. He then joked, saying, "I would ask him to drink it; we will meet in the hospital after that."

Rahul Gandhi criticises AAP’s leadership

Rahul Gandhi also targeted AAP’s leadership, questioning the inclusivity of its "core team." Holding a pamphlet with AAP leaders’ photos, he said, "These 9 people are Kejriwal's core team. I am reading the names: Kejriwal, his partner Sisodia, Atishi, Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, Satyendra Jain, and Avad Ojha. How many of these people are in the 90%? No one from the Dalit OBC or Muslim community is there... They make their team, and when there is a riot anywhere, they disappear."

He compared Kejriwal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming, "There is no difference between Kejriwal and Modi. Modi speaks openly, Kejriwal remains silent, and does not come when needed."

According to Rahul Gandhi, the upcoming election is not just about political parties but about two ideologies. He said, "The fight is between two parties. The two parties have two ideologies—one is BJP RSS, which is the ideology of hatred, and the other is Congress, which is the ideology of unity. Narendra Modi is the PM today, but the day he steps down, no one will remember him. There were two people in this country, (Mahatma) Gandhi and Godse. No one remembers Godse."
