AAP MP Sanjay Singh: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress, who once stood on the same platform and opened a front against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), are now seen becoming rivals of each other. Both these parties, which claimed to fight the Lok Sabha elections 2024 together by joining the India Alliance, are now publicly accusing each other. Is this political separation only temporary or is a new third front really taking shape?Sanjay Singh's sharp allegationsAAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, in a recent interview, exposed the changing equations of Congress and AAP and said that "now nothing is hidden." Giving the example of Ludhiana, he said that a BJP minister there is indirectly supporting the Congress so that AAP can be defeated. According to him, "Both BJP and Congress are united against AAP in Punjab."Conflict in Gujarat and Delhi tooCiting the example of Gujarat, Sanjay Singh said that there a sitting MLA of AAP joined BJP, and Congress fielded a candidate against AAP there too. This makes it clear that instead of benefiting AAP, Congress is working for the indirect benefit of BJP. Not only this, Congress was also accused of supporting BJP in the Delhi Municipal Corporation (MCD) elections.AAP's clear standThe AAP leader says that now the party is focusing on its expansion and organizational strength. Arvind Kejriwal himself has made it clear that the party will now work on its agenda and will contest elections independently wherever needed. The party has appointed in-charges in many states and public relations have been intensified at the grassroots level.Will a third front be formed?When Sanjay Singh was asked whether a third front can be formed in place of India Alliance, he refrained from answering. He said that this decision will be taken at the leadership level and he has no information on this. However, the signs are clear that AAP is no longer willing to move forward with Congress.Questions raised on the validity of India AllianceWhen asked in the interview whether the India Alliance was limited only to the Lok Sabha elections 2024, Sanjay Singh confirmed it. According to him, the parties that are still in the alliance are their decision, but AAP has parted ways.
