The Delhi Congress on Monday accused the ruling AAP of "enrolling rejects" from other parties sensing defeat in the assembly polls next month.

The reaction came after Ram Singh Netaji, a former Congress MLA, joined AAP.

"The Aam Aadmi Party, sensing defeat, is enrolling rejects from other parties as a face-saving act. Arvind Kejriwal is shaken up by the public anger against his party MLAs," claimed Delhi Congress chief spokesperson Mukesh Sharma.

Addressing a press conference at the party office, Sharma asserted that the time has come for the exit of Kejriwal government, but Congress will not act in haste and take its steps after careful consideration. "Kejriwal is looking for candidates from other parties as his party's volunteers have deserted him, so he is stooping to enrol rejects from other parties to the AAP fold."
