NEW DELHI, Jan 17: The Congress on Friday alleged that the national capital has become a football in the “noora kushti” of AAP and BJP in the run up to the assembly elections.
Delhi has a seen spate of frauds ever since the change in governments in 2013 and 2014, AICC chairman of Media and Publicity Pawan Khera said.
“Whatever started happening with Delhi in 2013-14, I would call it act of fraud. The act of double fraud. First fraud was started by the Delhi government and the second fraud was started to Delhi when new government came in the Centre,” Khera alleged at a press conference.
