Neeraj Basoya claims, felt humiliated in Congress
Neeraj Basoya said in his resignation letter, ‘Our ongoing alliance with Aam Aadmi Party is extremely humiliating as AAP has been associated with many scams in the last 7 years. Top 3 AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal, Satyendar Jain and Manish Sisodia are already in jail. AAP has been facing serious allegations like Delhi Liquor Scam, Delhi Jal Board Scam. The former MLA said that by aligning with AAP, the Congress party “appears to have given a clean chit” to the Kejriwal-led party and appreciates AAP’s misleading propaganda of development. I can no longer be a part of any such efforts.
Asif Mohammad Khan had made this allegation on Lovely
At the same time, the political temperature had increased after Arvinder Singh Lovely resigned from the post of Delhi unit chief of Congress. Hours after announcing his decision, Lovely said he had only left his post and was not joining any other political party. He gave this clarification on the claim of former Congress MLA Asif Mohammad Khan. Khane had said that BJP will field Lovely in place of Harsh Malhotra from East Delhi constituency.
