"No Congress Poster On Delhi's 7 Seats": Arvinder Lovely Points To AAP
NDTV
Lok Sabha Election 2024: Asserting that he has not leaked his own resignation letter to the media or resigned from the primary membership of the party, Arvinder Lovely said he stepped down because he felt unequal to the task of sacking people.
Arvinder Singh Lovely, who stepped down from the post of the Delhi Congress chief, has strongly refuted speculation that he is about to change camp and has been acting at the behest of the BJP. Asserting that he has not leaked his own resignation letter to the media or resigned from the primary membership of the party, Mr Lovely said he stepped down because he felt unequal to the task of sacking people.
"I was being asked to remove leaders loyal to the Congress for generations. I couldn't do that... A party should reach out to disgruntled people, not alienate them further," he told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
About his bigger grouse -- the Congress tie-up with longtime rival Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi -- Mr Lovely indicated that the alliance was costing the Congress its own turf. Under the deal to share the seven seats in the national capital, AAP is contesting four seats and the Congress three.
