The AAP has warned that if the opposition parties do not come together to fight the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, there may not be an election in the country next time. The party’s national spokesperson and Delhi Cabinet Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj claimed that if Narendra Modi is re-elected as Prime Minister in 2024, he may change the Constitution and declare himself as the country’s “king” for as long as he is alive. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva dismissed these claims as “stupid”.
The opposition parties will meet on June 23 to chalk out a strategy for the Lok Sabha polls. Meanwhile, Bharadwaj accused the Congress of copying ideas from the AAP’s manifestos and called it a “copycat”. He also claimed that the central government wants to stall the work of the elected government in the national capital. Surgeries in private hospitals through Delhi hospitals are being halted and attempts are being made to “uproot people” living in JJ clusters, he charged. “This is not happening randomly, but as part of a conspiracy on the directions of the Centre,” he claimed.
