Rahul Gandhi criticizes Manish Sisodia and Arvind Kejriwal, AAP leader retaliates with allegations against Congress.
Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi took a swipe at senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia on Tuesday (January 28, 2025), saying Delhi’s former Deputy Chief Minister “ran away from his constituency” because “people here already know that he is the architect of the liquor scam”.
Ahead of the February 5 Assembly election, AAP had changed Mr. Sisodia’s constituency from Patparganj, from where he has been elected thrice, to Jangpura. Civil services tutor Avadh Ojha was fielded in place of the former Deputy CM.

The senior Congress leader also attacked AAP national convener and former CM Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of disappearing when the city residents needed him. “Where was Kejriwal when the Delhi riots were happening or when people were suffering during COVID?” he said, addressing a rally in Patparganj.
The Rae Bareli MP added, “I don’t know whether the other parties are afraid of [Prime Minister Narendra] Modi, but Kejriwal is afraid of him. He [the AAP chief] promised to do clean politics but built a sheesh mahal and gave shape to the liquor scam.”
In response, Mr. Kejriwal launched a sharp counter-attack, targeting the Congress leader over the National Herald case and land grab case involving Robert Vadra.
“Don’t preach about fear and bravery. The country knows who is a coward and who is brave,” the AAP chief said in a post on X.
