NEW DELHI: Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and member of parliament from West Bengal’s Asansol,
Shatrughan Sinha
, visited Delhi on Sunday to extend his support to Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal and chief minister Atishi, who is contesting from the Kalkaji Assembly constituency.
Sinha, leader of a key ally in the INDIA bloc, took part in an
election campaign
for Atishi, rallying local support for her bid in the upcoming Delhi elections. His participation in the campaign comes amid the ongoing rift between AAP and Congress, with both parties locked in a fierce war of words as the election battle intensifies.
Atishi, speaking at the event, addressed the crowd with a strong message directed at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). “They (BJP) are distributing liquor and money,” she said. “Tell me, if they offer you money, will you take it? Take their money, but vote only for Aam Aadmi Party,” she added, urging voters to reject BJP’s tactics and support the AAP for a better future.
Sinha’s visit and Atishi’s speech are part of the ongoing campaign as AAP seeks to retain control over the Delhi government.
Delhi is set to go to the polls on February 5, with residents casting their votes for the upcoming assembly elections. The results will be counted on February 8.
