Kejriwal reignites alliance debate, takes swipe at BJP and Akali Dal

Chandigarh, June 10 (UNI) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday intensified the political discourse in Punjab by alleging that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was keen on reviving ties with the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), despite public differences between the two parties.
In a social media post, Kejriwal launched a sarcastic attack on both political outfits, claiming that discussions around a possible alliance reflected political compulsions rather than ideological commitments. Without presenting any evidence of ongoing negotiations, he suggested that efforts were being made to bring the former allies back onto a common political platform ahead of future electoral contests.
The AAP chief also targeted the BJP over its defence of central investigating agencies and accused opposition parties of attempting to reshape their political narratives for electoral advantage. He further mocked what he described as the contradiction of parties allegedly associated by rivals with past controversies, seeking to campaign on the same issues during elections.
