Congress alleged hidden pact between Bharatiya Janta Party and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and claimed that they were saying from the first day that both Parties were just working to benefit to the saffron brigade by dividing the secular vote bank.
``We are saying from the day one that AAP is working for BJP from the back and is just picking up candidates and fielding them just with a mind to divide the secular vote as it would ultimately help BJP", alleged former spokesman of Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee, Zeeshan Haider while reacting to naming of film star Zaved Zafri as AAP’s candidate for lucknow Parliament seat.
Zeeshan, who earlier resigned from spokesman’s post of UPCC said that every citizen knew that Rita Bahuguna is much ahead of BJP’s chief Rajnath Singh, who left Ghaziabad in fear of defeat and came to lucknow just to sail through the elections in the name of `Atalji’.
Zeeshan alleged that when Rajnath learnt of the truth and real picture of self-proclaimed Modi’s wave, he tried to hit his opponent Rita Bahuguna Joshi through back door in the form of dividing the secular vote bank. ``It was just on directions of Rajnath, AAP had fielded a Muslim candidate from lucknow just to divide the vote bank and capitalize on it", alleged Zeeshan adding that the minority community was already ready such dirty tricks always adopted by the saffron brigade to divide their vote bank so this time they would not get the BJP succeed in polarising their vote bank to win elections.
Zeeshan also reminded that how Narendra Modi took help of Samajwadi Party, which also fielded candidates in all the Assembly segment in last Assembly elections, just to divide the minority vote bank and ensure victory of Gujrat chief minister.
