After Congress leader Ajay Maken criticised AAP, calling Arvind Kejriwal "Farziwal", AAP demanded that the Congress be removed from I.N.D.I.A bloc. AAP MP Sanjay Singh said, "Congress is...doing everything that benefits the BJP in Delhi elections...Ajay Maken reads the BJP's script." Further, CM Atishi said, "We have come to know from official sources that the BJP is funding Congress candidates."
