Continuing his attack on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) Chief Ajay Maken slammed the "air-conditioned dharna politics" of the Kejriwal government and the BJP leaders at a time when the national Capital is facing acute water and power shortage, severe air pollution and sanitation crises among other crumbling civic problems.

"Kejriwal is trying to find an escape route from his non-performance in the last three-and-a-half years," Maken said in a meeting with other senior leaders of the Congress.

The Congressmen also passed a four-page resolution appealing to both the ruling parties at the Centre and Delhi to resolve the impasse at the earliest. "Delhi has already suffered enough in the last four years," added Maken. Former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, who could not attend the meeting due to indisposition, had also extended her support for the resolution. "We would also like to address the four chief ministers who extended their support to Kejriwal. We reiterate that the Constitutional framework of Delhi cannot be a reason for non-performance by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government," read an extract from the resolution.

Hinting a collusion between the two parties, the resolution also highlighted 11 sub-points which discussed several instances where AAP backed BJP ranging from the 2011 anti-corruption movement to AAP not extending its support to Congress to impeach the Chief Justice of India in 2018. "The Congress Party also takes strong exception to the conduct of the BJP in Delhi. It is utterly shocking that the elected leaders of the BJP are answering Kejriwal's drama politics with their own theatre performance,"read another extract from the resolution. Maken said, "How can LG and BJP allow Kejriwal to protest at Raj Niwas and how can BJP leaders protest at CM's office without his (Kejriwal's) permission? (sic)"

It seemed that the 11 sub-points were listed in response to speculation of a third front. In his response to the support by four CMs, Maken said, "AAP cannot be trusted. The resolution also discusses how AAP and BJP are working together."
