He said that he was against a partnership with the AAP which came to power levelling false and fabricated corruption charges on the party.
Mr. Lovely claimed that the party high command unilaterally took decision on the three Lok Sabha candidates rejecting views of the Delhi Congress.
Mr. Lovely also slammed Congress’ Northeast Delhi candidate Kanhaiya Kumar for publicly praising Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Mr. Lovely was appointed as president of the Delhi unit of the Congress in August 2023 in an apparent move to revive the party’s fortunes in the national capital, where it has not been able to win even a single Assembly election or a seat in the Lok Sabha for a decade now.
