New Delhi: Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar's proposal for a tie-up with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to stop Bharatiya Janata Party prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi from coming to power has come under severe attack from the BJP. Aiyar had said that any assistance from the AAP in stopping Modi would be welcomed but the BJP slammed the idea saying that Congress had realised that it cannot be a match for Modi.
"I hope, I pray that the AAP stops the BJP and Modi. I would certainly welcome any assistance from the AAP in stopping this Hitler from coming to power," replied Aiyar when asked about Congress's plan on Modi.
The BJP has quick to hit back claiming that the Congress had accepted its fate that the party could not win the Lok Sabha elections on its own.
"This is what the Congress mindset is. Now they have realised that they can't win, they can't fight Modi and BJP and therefore what they are contemplating is that they want to take cooperation of AAP or all those parties," said BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his party have been criticised by the BJP for taking Congress support to form the government in Delhi after no party managed to secure majority in the 70-member Assembly in the December 2013 elections.
AAP has declared its intention to contest Lok Sabha elections and has also made it clear that it will try and offer and alternative to both the Congress and BJP to the people of India.
