New Delhi: The last decade-long rivalry between the AAP led by Arvind Kejriwal and the BJP ruling on the Centre reached a crescendo on Thursday with the arrest of the Delhi chief minister by the ED in an excise policy-linked cash laundering case.
The tussle between the 2 sides started with their virtually simultaneous rise to energy with the BJP led by Narendra Modi receiving a large mandate within the 2014 Lok Sabha polls and the AAP forming the federal government in Delhi with a historic victory a 12 months later by successful 67 meeting seats out of 70.
Even earlier than this, Kejriwal, after a quick stint as chief minister of Delhi in 2013, challenged Modi in a a lot publicised contest from Varanasi within the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, setting the stage for a rivalry that has continued through the years.
