In a fresh setback for the Delhi Congress, senior party leader and five time Councillor in north Corporation Mukesh Goyal joined Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday ahead of municipal elections scheduled next year.
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and senior leader of the AAP Manish Sisodia welcomed them into the party with a cap and patka. He said that the politics of the country is evolving. “Those who want to do something for the public and the country are joining the AAP, noticing the party’s work in the interests of the public,” he said. On this occasion, Mukesh Goyal said “The model of development developed by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi is being discussed today not only in Delhi but across India. He said that whatever the AAP is doing in Delhi is commendable and the public is receiving its benefits.” Along with Mukesh Goyal, more than a dozen office-bearers joined the party.Meanwhile, Congress senior spokesperson Dr Naresh Kumar said “Delhi is suffering from acute pollution, the education system is in doldrums, health facilities in Delhi are crumbling, doctors are being appointed on contractual basis, not a single day passes by when doctors or nurses are not resorting to strike.
The Delhi Government has failed on all fronts and those joining the AAP leaving Congress are like frogs of the rainy season and they are switching parties to get short term gains. .
