New Delhi: Just before the municipal elections (MCD elections) in Delhi, there is a new rift in Congress. Congress leader and former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's son Sandeep Dikshit has slammed his own party leader Devendra Yadav in a tweet. He has objected to how Devendra Yadav attended a Congress event where his mother Sheila Dikshit's portrait is on display.
In fact, a banner of the event where the Manifesto for the Delhi MCD elections was being released by the Congress also had a picture of Sheila Dikshit printed on it. Pictures of the event were posted by Congress leader Mudit Agarwal on Twitter. Reacting to the pictures, Sandeep Dikshit tweeted, "I find it utterly reprehensible that this fellow Devendra Yadav sits on stage where my mothers' photo has been displayed - the way and manner in which he manipulated against her and did his best to humiliate her was despicable.'' Dikshit became the President of the Delhi Congress unit in 2019 after Ajay Maken resigned. At that time Devendra Yadav was holding the post of working president. It is said that there used to be a rift between Sheila Dikshit and Devendra Yadav.
At the same time, the BJP has taken a dig at the Congress over this matter. BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla tweeted, "After Rajasthan Pilot vs Gehlot now Congress vs Congress in Delhi too! Tukde tukde Congress again!! The Son of the former CM has attacked party leaders!! Pehle Rahul Ji Congress Jodo - Bharat to Juda Hua Hai thanks to Sardar Patel Ji.''
