"Made A Huge Mistake": Delhi Congress Defector Apologises In 2 AM Video
NDTV
Mr Mehdi's about turn came after he was slammed by party workers for jumping ship.
Barely a day after he switched loyalties and joined the Aam Aadmi Party, Delhi Congress Vice President Ali Mehdi said he has rejoined the grand old party. Early this morning, Mr Mehdi profusely apologised for his "mistake" in a video posted on his Twitter account, and said, "I am a worker of Rahul Gandhi." मैं राहुल गांधी जी का कार्यकर्ता हू 🙏 pic.twitter.com/sA9LPuk0kn Brijpuri से councilor Naziya khatoon, Mustafabad से councilor Sabila Begum aur 300 वोट से हारा हमारा ब्लॉक अध्यक्ष अलीम अंसारी मेरे साथ कॉंग्रेस के राहुल जी प्रियंका जी के कार्यकर्ता थे ,है और रहेंगे.....

Mr Mehdi said that newly elected councillors Sabila Begum from Mustafabad and Nazia Khatoon from Brijpuri, who had joined AAP along with him, have also rejoined the Congress.
The video, posted at 1:25 am on Saturday, shows Mr Mehdi apologising with folded hands. "I made a huge mistake," he said, reaffirming his loyalty to the Congress, and repeatedly apologising on camera. "My father has been in the Congress for 40 years," he further said, adding that he has asked the other councillors to upload similar videos.
