Political Turmoil in Delhi: AAP vs. BJP

Senior AAP leader Atishi accused BJP of conspiring to impose President's rule in Delhi, following a memorandum from BJP MLAs about constitutional violations by the AAP government. Atishi warned of BJP's defeat in upcoming polls. BJP's Leader of Opposition responded by demanding the dismissal of the AAP government.

Senior AAP leader and minister Atishi on Tuesday accused the BJP of conspiring to topple the Kejriwal government through ''back door'' by imposition of the President's rule in Delhi.

The accusation comes a day after the President's secretariat forwarded the assertions of opposition BJP that Delhi was facing a constitutional crisis to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for ''proper attention''.

Talking to PTI, Atishi said that if the Kejriwal government is toppled, the Delhiites will give a befitting reply by giving zero seats to the BJP in the upcoming assembly polls and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will win all the 70 seats.

A memorandum of Delhi BJP MLAs submitted to President Droupadi Murmu on August 30 seeking dismissal of the AAP government in Delhi over ''violations'' of the Constitution has been forwarded to the MHA for ''proper attention'', Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta said on Monday.

During a press conference on Tuesday, Gupta said the Kejriwal government must respond to the issues in the memorandum and accused AAP of playing the ''victim card'' and ''misleading'' the public.

Atishi countered by alleging that BJP's ''Operation Lotus'' aimed to topple elected governments as seen in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Manipur.

She claimed that efforts to poach AAP MLAs failed, leading to a conspiracy to impose President's rule.

Atishi added that Kejriwal's initiatives in education, healthcare, and public services have earned him public love, warning that BJP toppling his government would result in a complete loss in upcoming elections.

As elections approach, the political battle intensifies with BJP demanding the dismissal of AAP due to alleged constitutional violations and AAP accusing BJP of political maneuvering.
