A purported video showing Congress leader Archana Sharma claiming that a party "rival" made a "₹40 crore-deal" to stop her has surfaced online. Following this, party leader Rajiv Arora, in an apparent reference to her, said, "Ill-will of taking ticket even after losing twice...is hurting...Congress." BJP's Kalicharan Saraf defeated Sharma to win Rajasthan's Malviya Nagar seat in 2018 state polls.
