Not AAP, but only Congress can defenestrate Narendra Modi, asserts Rahul Gandhi

"The Aam Aadmi Party gave a slogan (in 2014) 'Arvind Kejriwal for CM and Narendra Modi for PM'. The doors for Narendra Modi were opened by the Aam Aadmi Party," Gandhi said.

New Delhi: At a time when Aam Aadmi Party and Bharatiya Janata Party are engaged in a bitter blame game, Rahul Gandhi has asserted it’s only the Congress that can defenestrate the Narendra Modi-led NDA government. Gandhi also accused the AAP of "opening doors" for Narendra Modi and the BJP in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. Promoting Congress's East Delhi candidate Arvinder Singh Lovely, Gandhi, in a rally, asserted that AAP is inept in defeating Modi. Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal make promises that cannot be fulfilled, he said.

On Wednesday, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also held roadshows in support of her party's East Delhi and South Delhi candidates Sheila Dikshit and Vijender Singh.
