“Chor chor mausere bhai”: BJP's Manoj Tiwari slams AAP-Congress seat-sharing deal

Hours after the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress on Saturday announced their seat-sharing agreement for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari referred to the party leaders as 'chor chor mausere bhaai' (two thieves are maternal cousins).

In a video message, Tiwari stated, "You must have heard 'chor chor mausere bhai'. That is what is happening between AAP and Congress."

He further added, "AAP workers are disappointed because Arvind Kejriwal used to speak about putting Congress leaders in jail, but he is now at their feet. Congress workers are disappointed too. Arvind Kejriwal and AAP had ousted Congress from their 15 years of rule and now Kejriwal is sharing the stage with Rahul Gandhi."



"Tiwari emphasized, BJP and Narendra Modi are in everyone's hearts. The people of Delhi will decide everything because today it is clear that the top leaders of AAP and Congress are one and the same."

Earlier today, the AAP and Congress, announcing their seat-sharing formula for Delhi, Gujarat, Goa, and Haryana, said the AAP will contest four Lok Sabha seats in Delhi and the Congress three. Seat sharing got a green light in the INDIA bloc after days of discussions as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Indian National Congress (INC) have arrived on consensus for Delhi, Goa, Gujarat, Chandigarh, Punjab, and Haryana.

Congress general secretary and MP Mukul Wasnik on Saturday confirmed the same and announced the parties' decision and said that the Arvind Kejriwal-led party will contest from four seats in Delhi namely New Delhi, West Delhi, South Delhi, and East Delhi. Meanwhile, the Congress will fight from three seats- Chandni Chowk, North East, and North West.

There are seven parliamentary constituencies in Delhi, all of which were won by the BJP in the 2019 polls.
