Have given support to AAP manifesto, not to party: DPCC chief

Senior party leaders, including AICC general secretary and in-charge of Delhi affairs, Shakeel Ahmed, general secretary Janardan Dwivedi, ex-Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, party communications wing chairman Ajay Maken and Union Law Minister Kapil Sibal, were present on the occasion.  Addressing the gathering, Dwivedi said that Congress might have lost the election in Delhi, but not its programmes and policies.

“We have never compromised on programmes and policies...  there have been many occasions in the past when the party has had to go through tough times, but it always emerged victorious. Whenever Congress faced a crisis, the party workers rose to stand unitedly,” he said.  He further charged that AAP did not have an ideology of its own and also lacked perspective on various issues, which may lead to anarchy in the future.

The senior party leaders appealed to Congress workers to stand as a united force and communicate with the people to understand their problems.

Thousands of local Congress workers, beating drums and raising slogans, attended the event.
