‘My wife cried:’ Former AAP leader Kumar Vishwas quips at celebration’s loss in Delhi political elections–

Former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and a singing doubter of AAP principal Arvind Kejriwal, Kumar Vishwas, on Saturday (February 8) took a veiled dig at the
celebration’s embarrassing loss versus PM Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

He claimed that he had no compassion for a guy “that squashed the imagine AAP celebration employees”.

In a sarcastic swipe, the poet said his “apolitical wife” cried when she heard about the defeat of Manish Sisodia, considered the number two in AAP.

Vishwas targets Kejriwal

Without taking his name, Vishwas accused Kejriwal of using AAP to further his political ambitions.

“I have no sympathy for a man who crushed the dreams of AAP party workers. Delhi is now free from him… He used those dreams for his personal ambitions. Today, justice has been delivered,” he said.

Kejriwal rose to power a decade ago, riding high on his promises of a crusade against corruption.

However, over the past 10 years of AAP’s rule in Delhi, the top leadership of the party has faced serious corruption allegations, with Kejriwal and Sisodia themselves having spent time in jail.

In results declared on Saturday, the AAP chief failed to secure his New Delhi bastion, losing to BJP’s Parvesh Verma.

Vishwas had left the party in 2018, citing personal differences with Kejriwal.

Vishwas’s jibe at Sisodia

Targeting Sisodia, Vishwas claimed in a ridiculing declaration that his “apolitical” spouse sobbed after listening to the information of his loss.

“When we got the news of Manish Sisodia losing from Jangpura – my wife who is apolitical cried,” claimed the previous AAP leader.

Sisodia shed to BJP’s Tarvinder Singh Marwah from the Jangpura seat by a margin of 675 ballots.

“Party workers fought well. We all did hard work. People have supported us as well. But, I lost by 600 votes. I congratulate the candidate who won. I hope he will work for the constituency,” Sisodia claimed after acknowledging loss.

He formerly won the Patparganj constituency three times– in 2013, 2015 and 2020.
