Indore (Madhya Pradesh): State cabinet minister Kailash Vijayvargiya, on Tuesday, took a potshot at Lok Sabha leader of opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi over a tussle between Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress ahead of the upcoming Delhi assembly elections, saying that they (Congress) make friends in the morning and fight at night.

Vijayvargiya further said that now whether these people abuse or praise was not important and the public knew everything. "Sometimes they (Congress) shake hands and sometimes they break each other's hands. It is their culture. Sometimes they join hands with West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and sometimes Mamata ji abuses them and again they abuse Mamata ji. Similarly, sometimes they join hands with Akhilesh Yadav, then leave hands and abuse each other," Vijayvargiya said.

Rahul, on Monday, compared AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about making 'fake promises'. In a post on X, the Congress leader wrote, "Just like PM Modi makes false promises and propaganda one after the other, Kejriwal also has the same strategy - there is no difference!" Besides, in a public address at Seelampur, Delhi, Rahul criticised both the BJP and AAP.

The former Congress president asked what Modi and Kejriwal had done to combat inflation and help the poor. In response to this, Kejriwal hit out at Rahul, saying that the Congress leader's fight is to save his party, whereas the former Delhi Chief Minister's fight is to "save the country." Kejriwal, while claiming that Rahul "abused him a lot" added that he does not want to reply to his comments. The Delhi assembly polls will be held in a single phase on February 5 and the counting of votes will take place on February 8.
