Addressing a rally in tribal-dominated Chhota Udepur district, Arvind Kejriwal said Congress has lost its relevance and there was no point voting for that party as its leaders end up joining the ruling BJP.
The upcoming Gujarat elections will be a straight contest between the "honest" Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which means "corruption and spurious liquor", AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said on Sunday.
Addressing a rally in tribal-dominated Chhota Udepur district, Mr Kejriwal said Congress has lost its relevance and there was no point voting for that party as its leaders end up joining the ruling BJP.
"There is no point voting for Congress. Congress should not get a single vote this time. Every vote should go to the AAP and the 'broom' (its election symbol). Many Congress leaders have joined the BJP and many more will join it before the elections. Those remaining in Congress will cross over to BJP after the elections," he said.
The Assembly elections in Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, are due in December this year. "Nothing is left in the Congress now. This election is a contest between AAP and BJP. AAP means an honest, patriotic party with new politics, new faces, new ideas, enthusiasm, energy etc. Whereas as the BJP means spurious liquor and corruption," said the Delhi chief minister.
