Campaign fever goes up a notch

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday trained his guns at INDIA bloc ally Congress, telling the public that voting for it would only "cut votes" in a two-party race between the AAP and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the Delhi hot seat.

Addressing a rally in Badli to seek votes for AAP's Ajesh Yadav, Kejriwal said that the Congress and the BJP have "made a deal" and were fighting the Delhi Assembly elections together.

Kejriwal said: "Some people here are thinking about Congress. Why are you wasting your vote by giving it to Congress? Congress is not going to win. It will only cut votes. Internally, the Congress and BJP have made a deal. They are fighting the elections together. But they are not doing it for Delhi's progress; they are doing it to defeat the Aam Aadmi Party. The Aam Aadmi Party will work for you. Neither the Congress nor the BJP will help you."
