The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) distanced itself from the INDIA bloc on Friday, saying it is not part of the opposition alliance anymore and questioning the Congress party’s role in leading it.
The remarks made by Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh came ahead of an online meeting of the leaders of the INDIA bloc parties scheduled to be held on Saturday evening to discuss the prevailing political situation in the country.
The AAP has cleared its stand. The INDIA bloc was for the (2024) Lok Sabha polls. We fought the Delhi and Haryana Assembly polls on our own. We are going to fight the Bihar election solo. We fought the bypolls in Punjab and Gujarat all by ourselves. The AAP is not part of the INDIA. We will strongly raise issues in the Lok Sabha. We have always played the role of a strong opposition,” Mr Singh told PTI Videos.
It is not child’s play. Did they hold any meeting after the Lok Sabha polls? Was there any initiative to expand the INDIA bloc? Sometimes they criticise Akhilesh Yadav, sometimes Uddhav Thackeray and sometimes Mamata Banerjee. The INDIA should have been united. The Congress is the biggest party of the bloc. But did it play a role (in ensuring opposition unity)?” he asked.
Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh stated that the AAP is no longer part of the opposition alliance and questioned the Congress party’s role in leading it. He further mentioned that the alliance was formed solely for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, and the AAP has fought various state and by-poll elections independently and will continue to do so, including in Bihar. Singh asserted that the AAP remains committed to playing the role of a strong opposition and will strongly raise issues in the Lok Sabha
