The Promise to Clean Yamuna River
Rahul Gandhi reminded the audience of Arvind Kejriwal’s promise to clean the Yamuna River within 5 years and take a dip in it. However, despite the passage of time, the river remains dirty and polluted. Mr. Gandhi seized the opportunity to challenge Mr. Kejriwal to drink the water from the Yamuna River, highlighting the failure to fulfill the promise of cleaning the river.
Criticism of AAP Leadership
Taking aim at the core team of the Aam Aadmi Party, which includes members like Manish Sisodia, Atishi, Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chaddha, and Satyendra Jain, Rahul Gandhi drew parallels between them and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He criticized the lack of diversity in the AAP leadership, pointing out the absence of representation from marginalized communities.
Comparison with Narendra Modi

Ideological Battle
Gandhi framed the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections as a battle between two ideologies – one of unity represented by the Congress party and one of hatred embodied by the BJP-RSS alliance. He underscored the importance of choosing a party that promotes inclusivity and harmony, contrasting it with the divisive politics of hatred.
