Viewing Lok Sabha election fight between Congress and Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA from Chandni Chowk confirmed reports pertaining to her will to join congress ahead of Lok Sabha elections in Delhi. Speaking to The pioneer, Lamba said that there is no communication with AAP after a resolution in the Delhi Assembly (December 21) to withdraw the Bharat Ratna conferred on former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi for his alleged role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
Notably, on Friday, Congress party's Delhi in-charge PC Chacko also said that the party will always welcome back AAP leader Alka Lamba whenever she wants to return to the party fold.
"We will always welcome her because she is otherwise also a member of the Congress family. She was the president of the NSUI. There are many people, who left the party on different occasions. When they come back, we always welcome them," Chacko said.
At political front, Lamba is feeling left out in Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
"In a larger perspective, the upcoming elections will be contested between Congress and BJP. AAP stands nowhere," said Lamba.
When asked, why Congress? AAP MLA replied, "I have ideological differences with BJP and Congress has strong base in Delhi."
Lamba also cleared that she has not received any proposal from Congress yet.
"I have given 20 years to Congress out of my 25 years in politics. When Congress and BJP used to fight in Delhi, people stopped BJP from forming a government in the state for 15 years," she said.
