PM 'rattled' by INDIA bloc; it'll strengthen alliance: Congress
The Congress on Thursday claimed that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's arrest shows that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "rattled" by the strength of the INDIA bloc and asserted that this would strengthen the alliance further in the Lok Sabha polls.
Kejriwal, the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case on Thursday.
Reacting to the developments since last night, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, "This is vendetta politics, it has become very clear that the prime minister (Narendra Modi) and the home minister (Amit Shah) are rattled by the INDIA bloc which is a very strong alliance. This is not an alliance of seats it is a janbandhan (people's alliance)." "It has become very clear from this step that we are going to get the mandate in this election," Ramesh told PTI.
