<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/46581753.cms" /> Uncertainty looms large in the <keyword id="1575" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Congress">Congress</keyword>. Since the Delhi election poll results, there are speculations over <keyword id="5268" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Rahul-Gandhi">Rahul Gandhi</keyword>’s disappearance from media headlines. Thundering TV anchors and newspaper editorials, having done enough investigation couldn’t trace the Gandhi scion. As per The Economic Times, senior leaders of the Congress party have expressed their uncertainty on Gandhi’s elevation to party presidentship and AICC special sessions which was speculated to be held the next month. 
 
"He may become Congress chief later in the year," a senior Congress functionary said. These leaders, on condition of anonymity, told ET that the party is most likely to put on hold its plans to organise the AICC session in April. 
 The senior leaders disagreed to the fact that the Rahul left in a huff or that there was a ‘new vs old guard fight’ in the party. A leader informed the financial daily that there’s no ‘friction’ between <keyword id="6358112" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sonia">Sonia</keyword> and Rahul and that the former knew her son would be aware about this for a while. 
 Some senior Congress leaders like <keyword id="43786" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Digvijay-Singh">Digvijay Singh</keyword> had said Sonia Gandhi was being "influenced by a few leaders" and that she was not always on the same page as her son on political matters. 
Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi have a final say on all political matters that they closely work together. One leader said a final decision on Gandhi's appointment will be taken by the Nehru-Gandhi family together. Since there is no leader of stature and mass base who can take on a Nehru-Gandhi, as the ET reports, no leaders in Congress would oppose Rahul Gandhi’s ascension. 
 
 
"There is no revolt within the party on this. And frankly who can revolt? The leaders objecting are hardly Sharad Pawar type mass leaders with potential to split the party," the Congress leader told the ET. 
 
He also said Rahul Gandhi's efforts to democratise Congress were being resisted by "a small section of the party that wants to continue with the feudal model," adding that this section isn't powerful enough to stop Rahul Gandhi from doing what he wants.

Indian Politicians Who Have A Royal Background

Kirit Patel will take on BJP patriarch LK Advani in <keyword id="6356847" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="gandhinagar">Gandhinagar</keyword> in Gujarat. 
 The passing of baton in Sivaganga caps the intense speculation on <keyword id="6362104" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Chidambaram">Chidambaram</keyword>’s candidature in the wake of Congress’s bleak prospects in the state owing to its failure to find an ally. Congress fought the last two elections with DMK and reaped a rich tally, disproportionate to its weak organizational muscle in the state. 
 
The leg-up for the GenNext extends to another of the state’s political family. Mohan Kumaramangalam, son of former Union minister Rangarajan Kumaramangalam, is the rookie to contest from Salem. 
 In what may have the making of an interesting contest, Laxman Singh has been named from Vidisha to take on leader of opposition in Lok Sabha <keyword id="6355111" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Sushma-Swaraj">Sushma Swaraj</keyword> in Madhya Pradesh. Singh is a former MP and the brother of AICC general secretary <keyword id="43786" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Digvijay-Singh">Digvijay Singh</keyword>. 
 
Congress announced sitting MPs Ramesh Kumar and Mahabal Mishra from South Delhi and West Delhi, a decision which means that all seven party MPs from the capital would be taking the field in the Lok Sabha polls. 
 
The names of Kumar and Mishra were held back in the earlier list which gave the go ahead to five other MPs, raising the possibility of their being replaced. However, the party leadership has settled for the status quo, finding that any attempt to change the candidate would skew the caste balance it wants in its representation in the apital. 
 The reprieve for the two comes after Congress mulled possible options to sitting MPs. The <keyword id="447980" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Central-Election-Committee">Central Election Committee</keyword> of the party had taken exception to the routine manner in which the MPs were recommended for renomination and had asked the Delhi managers to submit a panel of possible candidates. 
 
Union health minister and senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad would contest from Udhampur in Jammu and Kashmir. He replaces MP Lal Singh Chaudhary. 
 
Congress has also replaced Paranjayadityasinh Parmar from Panchmahals in Gujarat with Ramsingh Parmar. Paranjayaditya is the son-in-law of Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh and his nomination in the previous list of candidates had sparked unrest, leading to clarification from the state leadership that it was an oversight. 
 <keyword id="6364961" type="POSITION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Rajya-Sabha-MP">Rajya Sabha MP</keyword> and former union minister Mani Shankar Aiyer will contest from Mayiladuthurai that he represented in Lok Sabha before losing in 2009. 
 
Expelled JD(U) MP Purnmasi Ram will be the Congress candidate from Gopalganj reserved seat in Bihar. Also, Congress’s Tsering Samphel will contest from Ladakh seat in J&amp;K.

Pragya Thakur leads by 4.48 lakh votes against Digvijaya Singh in Bhopal. The BJP candidate was leading in early trends with 57.74% vote share, received after counting of postal ballots in Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal constituency. Thakur is contesting against former Chief Minister and Congress candidate Digvijaya Singh. Digvijay Singh of the Indian National Congress was trailing with 40.24% votes. Bhopal went to polls with eight other constituencies in Madhya Pradesh in the sixth phase of <keyword id="4577611" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="lok-sabha-election-2019">Lok Sabha Election 2019</keyword>. It recorded a 61.71% voting turnout. Bhopal has grabbed a lot of attention after the BJP fielded the controversial Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, an accused in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case, against veteran Congress leader Digvijaya Singh. Thakur, who joined the race for Bhopal almost a month after Digvijaya Singh's candidature was finalised, is no longer just a candidate but has become an election issue. Many have raised questions over her candidature, wondering if someone who's out on bail in a terror case should be allowed to contest elections. Madhya Pradesh poses a big challenge for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as it lost power in the state after over a decade in the 2018 that paved the way for Congress leader Kamal Nath to become Chief Minister.

New Delhi, Feb 16 () The strategic Zojila tunnel for all-year connectivity between Leh and Srinagar may undergo some design changes to prevent cost escalation as the government plans to complete the project at the earlier estimated cost of about Rs 6,800 crore, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said. The tunnel project, stalled for about six years, holds strategic significance as Zojila Pass is situated at an altitude of 11,578 feet on the Srinagar-Kargil-Leh National highway and remains closed during winters due to heavy snowfall, cutting off Ladakh region from Kashmir. "We are planning to make some design changes that may include doing away with escape tunnel and instead (have) alternative tunnels to cross from one side to the other as it will be my endeavour to prevent cost escalation and build it at the previous estimated cost of Rs 6,800 crore," Road Transport and Highways Minister Gadkari told . Though the revised project cost estimate of a little over Rs 8,000 crore has been sent to the Cabinet, "we are deliberating on minor design changes to prevent cost escalation," the minister said. "Besides the escape tunnel, we can do away with vertical shafts not compromising with safety," he said, adding that rebidding for the project was expected in a month or two. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had in May 2018 laid the foundation stone for the Rs 6,800 crore project, billed as the Asia's longest bi-directional tunnel, in Jammu and Kashmir. However, barely months after the foundation, the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (NHIDCL) on January 15, 2019 terminated the contract awarded to troubled IL&amp;FS group company IL&amp;FS Transportation after it abandoned the project citing financial problems. "The project which was earlier constructed on hybrid annuity mode will now be converted into EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) mode," Gadkari said. The cancellation of the award in January last year was the second time NHIDCL had scrapped the contract for the 14.15-km tunnel project which would cut down the 3.5-hour long drive through the mountainous Zojila Pass to just 15 minutes. The corporation had earlier cancelled the bid of IRB Infrastructure. IL&amp;FS Transportation in 2017 emerged as the lowest bidder in the rebidding process. Unveiling a plaque for commencement of work for the tunnel, Modi had said, "Zojila tunnel is not a mere tunnel but a modern day marvel." The Cabinet on January 3, 2018 had approved the Zojila tunnel project with Parallel Escape (Egress) tunnel between Baltal and Minamarg on the Srinagar-Leh section of NH-1A at a total cost of Rs 6,800 crore. The project was expected to be completed in seven years. On March 1, 2016, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways had ordered "re-bidding" for the project, which had been awarded to IRB Infrastructure. The decision was taken at a high-level meeting, chaired by Gadkari, after Congress leader Digvijay Singh had alleged that guidelines were violated while awarding the contract. The original plans of the tunnel included fully transverse ventilation system, uninterrupted power supply (UPS), tunnel emergency lighting, CCTV monitoring, variable message signs (VMS), traffic logging equipment, overheight vehicle detection and tunnel radio system. Besides, it included pedestrian cross passages at every 250 metres and motorable cross passages and lay-bys at every 750 metres, as well as emergency telephones and fire-fighting cabinets at every 125 metres.

If Congress does manage to win a few seats, the polls predict that it won’t be more than one or two. Data shared by the Election Commission so far show the BJP sweeping the state and leading in every single constituency. The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) who won two seats in the state during the 2014 Lok Sabha Election is lagging behind in Sirsa and Hisar. Congress' Deepender Singh Hooda is also falling behind Arvind Kumar Sharma who is winning by a margin of 7,726 votes. If the Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) manage to sweep all ten seats, then that means Bhupinder Singh Hooda — the lone incumbent Congress candidate from Sonepat — will be losing out to Digvijay Singh Chautala. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) stretched its legs beyond Delhi to try its hand at contesting the elections in neighbouring state, Haryana. But exit polls show that it’s unlikely that they will be bringing any seats home. The state of Haryana has 10 Lok Sabha constituencies in total. All the 10 seats went for polling on 19 th May 2019 and the results will show which party bags the majority number of seats from the state. In 2014 general elections for the Lok Sabha, the BJP captured 7 places for the parliament from Haryana. The Indian National Lok Dal claimed two seats namely Sirsa and Hisar. The Congress party could strive to keep only one seat from the state by winning from Rohtak. From the Rohtak seat, Deependra Singh Hooda, the son of Phupinder Singh Hooda, the then chief minister of the state. Notably, the BJP fought only in 8 seats in the state of Haryana while the election results favored the party by giving it a victory over 7 out of 8 places it contested in 2014. The ally of BJP Haryana Janhit Congress contested from two places and both these seats were lost to the aforementioned candidates. With the mounting anticipation whether the BJP can retain its prospects in the state, the game seems to be a lot tougher for the party this time. The Congress is now seen fielding highly seasoned election campaigners like Kumari Selja and Ashok Tanwar for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/48283686.cms" /> As<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Yakub+Memon+"> Yakub Memon</a> was hanged this morning after a long-stretched process involving country’s top court and politicians, mixed reactions have started pouring in from all corners of the world. From victims’ kin to the politicians, media houses to commoners, everyone has reacted strongly. But it is the reactions of senior politicians that has shocked the world! 
 
As reported by Times of India, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=BJP">BJP </a>today hit out at <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Congress">Congress </a>leaders including <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=shashi+tharoor">Shashi Tharoor</a> and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=digvijay+singh">Digvijay Singh</a> comments, and said their comments were “insult” to the people wanting to get rid of terrorism. 
 
Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today attacked on Singh citing his comments "seek to question the judicial process". Prasad said that such comments are regrettable and unfortunate. 
 
As per Prasad, he first chose to stay calm and avoid Tharoor’s tweets against Memon’s hanging, but he was more troubled after Singh’s comments as he holds an important position (Adviser to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi). Tharoor, in his tweets dubbed the hanging as "state-sponsored killing”. 
 
Another BJP leader and member of Parliament, Rajiv Pratap Rudy said that he too was “shocked” with Tharoor’s comments. 
 
"Can terrorism remain sans politics? Can the process of justice be discarded by a tweet of a senior member of Parliament," he wondered, adding that the judicial process had been completed in Memon's case before he was hanged today. 
 
Prasad also noted Supreme Court’s exceptional hearing at 3 AM, in which it rejected Memon’s lawyers' last-minute attempt to stay his hanging. 
 
Taking a dig at Tharoor, Rudy said, "If such was his feelings, he should have intervened at right time but not debate an issue when it has been settled." 
 
BJP secretary Shrikant Sharma took on the Congress over its two leaders' comments, saying the opposition party had always spoken in different voice on terrorism. 
 
"Whether it is Mani Shankar Aiyar or Digvijay Singh and we have comments from Tharoor today, they (Congress) have always seen to be speaking for terrorists. It is clear from their statements today that they are insulting the peace-loving people who want to get rid of terrorism," Sharma said.

Tharoor, Digvijay’s comments on Memon’s hanging an ‘insult’ to people, says BJP

What started off as an ALS awareness drive in America is probably on the verge of becoming a worldwide phenomenon. 
 
Indian Tennis player Rohan Bopanna was the one who started this challenge in India after being nominated by former tennis player Amrit Narsimhan. After taking up the challenge, he nominated actor Rahul Bose, sports editor Digvijay Singh Deo and the entire team of Bengaluru Football club.

While Rahul Bose decided to donate to the charity, Bengaluru FC did a group challenge and, in turn, nominated Badminton star Ashwini Ponappa, Tennis sensation Sania Mirza and the blue-eyed boy of Indian cricket Yuvraj Singh. 
 
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/JCpACrWJneg" width="420"></iframe> 
 
Sania Mirza took the challenge twice, having not enough water in the bucket in the first go, and challenged fellow Tennis players Cara Black and Mahesh Bhupathi, Yuvraj Singh, her sister Anam Mirza and actor Riteish Deshmukh, thus, taking the challenge from Indian sports to Bollywood. 
 
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RJETZT4gCHk" width="420"></iframe> 
 
Ashwini Ponappa completed the challenge as well and nominated fellow baddie player Jwala Gutta, swimmer Rehan Poncha and her friend and fashion designer Shravya Verma. 
 
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Zp3ZhF4PC0w" width="420"></iframe> 
 
Mahesh Bhupathi took the challenge and nominated his coach Scott Davidoff, shooter Abhinav Bindra, Abhishek Bachchan and all the members of the Kabaddi team Jaipur Pink Panthers. 
 
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/CdptF5o50Ck" width="420"></iframe> 
 
Riteish Deshmukh, who is in Poland shooting for his film Bangistan, produced by Excel Entertainment, went ahead to take the challenge via his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=854831017863533&amp;set=vb.149681275045181&amp;type=2&amp;theater">Facebook account</a> and nominated his ‘good friends’ actors Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Pulkit Samrat, Siddharth Malhotra and Ashish Chowdhry. 
 
All of the above actors as well as Abhinav Bindra, Jaipur Pink Panthers, Jwala Gutta, Scott Davidoff, Rehan Poncha,and Yuvraj Singh are yet to take the challenge.

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Comes To India

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/44802285.cms" /> <keyword id="42749" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shashi-Tharoor">Shashi Tharoor</keyword> somehow manages to be in news all the time for some or the other reason. Be it his ‘cattle class’ remark, his alleged affair with a Pakistani journalist, or his Kochi IPL controversy —we’ve heard a lot about the man. But today, the man is in news because he has faced the wrath for praising Narendra Modi-initiated ‘<keyword id="6361202" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Swachh-Bharat">Swachh Bharat</keyword>’ campaign. The <keyword id="1575" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Congress">Congress</keyword> party today sacked him from the position of party’s spokesman citing breach of discipline as the reason. 
 
What was Shashi Tharoor’s fault? Nothing, just that he appreciated the campaign run by the opposition party i.e. BJP. This raises serious question on the lack of idealism in Indian politics. Can a member of opposition not appreciate a noble campaign launched by the country’s Prime Minister? After all, the Prime Minister belongs to the whole nation and not just a single party of which he is a member of. 
 It’s not that Tharoor was constantly going against the party line or defying the party’s discipline. In fact, he had slammed the <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> government for its alleged mishandling of ceasefire violations by Pakistan. He had even dismissed speculations that he was planning to switch to the BJP, and said that those who were demanding action against him had “neither understood his remarks nor bothered to talk to him.” Moreover, he had also made it clear that he was "not pro-BJP, just pro-India," saying that he only supports some of the good programmes of Narendra Modi and not his political ideology. 
 
However, the Congress held him guilty of breaching party discipline. Interestingly, Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh had supported Tharoor. “I see nothing wrong in Shashi Tharoor accepting to be Brand Ambassador for Swachhta Abhiyan. It is Congress Party programme adopted by Modi,” Singh had said on Twitter. 
 
This incident reflects that in India, the opposition parties take the word ‘opposition’ too literally. For them, party comes before the nation and not vice-versa. In a democracy, the opposition party has an important role to play other than opposing each and every move of the ruling party. The arguments they raise in the Parliament or otherwise, should be constructive for the nation. 
 In the past, we have seen some shiny examples of statesmanship. Erstwhile Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had sent <keyword id="47100" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Atal-Bihari-Vajpayee">Atal Bihari Vajpayee</keyword>, her ardent opponent, to represent India at the Geneva Convention. Even in the 90s, Narasimha Rao (again a Congress Prime Minister) had sent Atal ji to argue India’s case against Pakistan in the UN. But sadly, we do not find such examples of statesmanship any more.

Congress Takes Away Spokesperson Tag From Shashi Tharoor, Testifies Limited Democracy In Indian Political System

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/28281031.cms" /> DELHI/ BANGALORE: Within 23 days of its stunning debut in the Delhi assembly election, the appeal of <keyword id="6354944" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Aam-Aadmi-Party">Aam Aadmi Party</keyword> appears to have spread across the country, from north to south, west to east. Donations are pouring in and volunteers are lining up to join the party, including some senior corporate leaders who are chucking up prized jobs to work with <keyword id="6356115" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="AAP">AAP</keyword>. 
 In Bangalore, V Balakrishnan, the <keyword id="6354512" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Infosys">Infosys</keyword> board member once seen as a future CEO, who quit the company last month, said on Wednesday he had joined AAP. In Mumbai, <keyword id="48669" type="POSITION" weightage="40" keywordseo="banker">banker</keyword> Meera Sanyal, the Harvard Business School-educated head of <keyword id="65497" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Royal-Bank-of-Scotland">Royal Bank of Scotland</keyword>, has quit to join AAP. Adarsh Shastri, grandson of former Indian <keyword id="71" type="POSITION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Prime-Minister">Prime Minister</keyword> Lal Bahadur Shastri, resigned as head of sales for Apple in western India to join Kejriwal. 
 
And donations to AAP have spiraled. On Wednesday, the party had collected almost Rs 38 lakh from online donations till 10pm. This has been the highest collection in a day so far, barring two days – one when Shanti Bhushan donated it Rs 1 crore and another day when a Singapore-based sympathizer had sent in Rs 50 lakh. 
 Until the Delhi elections, AAP was receiving on an average Rs 6-7 lakh a day. It stopped collections once it reached its target of Rs 20 crore. Fund collection resumed on December 13, when the party formally announced its intention to contest the 2014 <keyword id="6355187" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Lok-Sabha">Lok Sabha</keyword> elections. Since then, the average collection has been around Rs 17.5 lakh a day. 
 
The number of people flocking to the party has seen a dramatic rise. Since December 8, 2013, when the Delhi election results were announced, 3.03 lakh volunteers have joined AAP across the country and over 1 lakh have become members. "These figures are of those joining online and don't include volunteers and members who have registered manually at party offices. The party's membership fee is Rs 10 but people below 18 years of age cannot become members. Similarly government officials cannot become members. Such people instead register as volunteers," said Ankit Lal, who handles AAP's online campaign. 
 One of those joining online is Balakrishnan, who was on the CEO track at Infosys before he quit. He told media on Wednesday that he had paid the Rs 10 AAP membership fee but said it was too early to talk about his role in the party. Balakrishnan's entry into AAP pits him against his long-time Infosys colleague Nandan Nilekani, who is tipped to be the <keyword id="1575" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Congress">Congress</keyword> candidate from the South Bangalore in the LS elections. Balakrishnan described AAP as the most successful startup ever by an IIT-ian and said he wanted to be part of the revolution that AAP was bringing about in the country. 
 
AAP's online campaign, managed by a young and tech-savvy team, is rarely short of ideas. The most recent — one of the reasons for the spike in collections on Wednesday – was a simple message: ‘Donate Rs 2014 in the year 2014'. Till 10pm, 1,273 people had donated Rs 2014 or more. "It started with one volunteer wanting to donate Rs 2014 to mark the New Year. We decided to put it up on the party page and it seemed to have caught the fancy of a lot of people," said Lal. 
 AAP suddenly grabbing national attention hasn't gone unnoticed by political parties, with leaders either racheting up their criticism of the newbie or acknowledging the potency of AAP's politics. On Wednesday, Congress's <keyword id="227742" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Mumbai-MP">Mumbai MP</keyword> <keyword id="56431" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Sanjay-Nirupam">Sanjay Nirupam</keyword> took a cue from the <keyword id="6354952" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Delhi-Government">Delhi government</keyword>'s decision to slash power tariff by threatening to launch an agitation if the <keyword id="6356172" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Maharashtra-government">Maharashtra government</keyword> too didn't cut electricity charges. 
 In neighbouring Goa, <keyword id="5269" type="POSITION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Chief-Minister">chief minister</keyword> <keyword id="6363133" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Manohar-Parrikar">Manohar Parrikar</keyword> – an IIT alumnus like Kejriwal – appeared to be praising the AAP leader at a time when some of his colleagues in Delhi have sharpened their criticism of AAP, possibly because they feel more threatened by it. Parrikar said, "He (Kejriwal) has shown the right intent. Let us see if he can deliver." 
 
CPM general secretary Prakash Karat on Wednesday said his party considers AAP to belong to non-Congress, non-BJP political forces — a space that CPM seeks to create and promote. He said any alliance with AAP would depend on how it evolved on the political and policy platforms, on whether it would be anti communalism and against "neo-liberal economic policies". 
 
In Ahmedabad, former BJP MLA Kanu Kalsariya, a gynaecologist who had led the agitation against Nirma's cement plant in his Gariadhar constituency, joined AAP on Wednesday. He admitted that he was about to join Congress, but now saw AAP as "a symbol of people's power." 
 There have been reports about BJP and Congress being worried by the new kid on the block. For starters, they joined hands to quickly pass the Lokpal Bill. Since then, Congress leaders like Digvijay Singh have claimed that AAP's programme was similar to that of <keyword id="5268" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Rahul-Gandhi">Rahul Gandhi</keyword>'s, while the BJP brass has reportedly met to assess the impact of AAP in the coming LS polls.
