The Aam Aadmi Party is right in being apprehensive about accepting support from the Congress. The AAP fought the Delhi Assembly election against the malpractices of the Congress that ravaged the city-State for 15 long years. During the election campaign, Congressmen had been unequivocal in lambasting and lampooning the AAP.
They called Mr Arvind Kejriwal and his people names and never took the AAP seriously. Now, the sudden gush of affection in offering the party outside support is more than meets the eye. There is much hue and cry from the mainstream parties regarding the 18 issues that Mr Kejriwal has forwarded to the Congress and the BJP. The two national parties have accused the AAP chief of being arrogant and conceited. If these parties are so willing to anoint Mr Kejriwal as the Chief Minister with unconditional support, what in the world is stopping them from giving their consent to the legitimate concerns of AAPIJ
