Arvind Kejriwal has hit out at Rahul Gandhi over the AAP-Congress alliance.

AAP chief and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has hit back at Rahul Gandhi for saying he has made a U-turn on the AAP-Congress alliance. Kejriwal has said Rahul Gandhi's tweet shows that he is not interested in an alliance and it is all rhetoric.

Rahul Gandhi on Monday tweeted that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief has made a U-turn on alliance talks, but Congress is still willing to share 4 out of the 7 Lok Sabha seats in Delhi with AAP.

Kejriwal has replied saying, "What U-turn? The talks were still going on. Your tweet shows that alliance is not your intention but only a show. It makes me sad that you are only making big statements. Today, saving the nation from the Modi-Shah threat is the most important mission. It is unfortunate that you are splitting the anti-Modi votes in UP and all other states."





Earlier, the talks hit a roadblock when AAP demanded that if there is an alliance with Congress, they will contest 33 Lok Sabha seats in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Goa.

This did not go down well with Congress.

Rahul Gandhi has accused Arvind Kejriwal of making a U-turn and hindering the process of talks between the two opposition parties both aiming to oust the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

AAP has already announced candidates for all 7 Lok Sabha seats while Congress is yet to announce any name for the elections in the Capital.

Talks between AAP and Congress have been going on for several months but with no resolve.

While a faction of the Congress has vehemently opposed an alliance with Arvind Kejriwal's AAP that ousted them from the Delhi government in 2013, AAP too, has had different opinions within the party.

Delhi will vote in the sixth phase of Lok Sabha elections on May 12.
