Hyderabad: In response to the outcome of the Delhi Assembly elections, in which the AAP, led by Arvind Kejriwal, faced defeat and the BJP secured a majority of seats, PCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud identified two primary factors contributing to Kejriwal's decline. The first factor is Kejriwal's alliance with the BRS party, while the second is his perception of the Congress party as an adversary.

The PCC president asserted that Kejriwal’s association with the BRS party, headed by K Chandrashekar Rao, has inflicted significant damage on the AAP's standing. Moreover, allegations involving Kejriwal and his associates related to the liquor business with KCR's daughter, Kavitha, have undermined the AAP’s credibility. Additionally, Kejriwal's choice to reject a coalition with the Congress party has inadvertently benefited the BJP in the elections.

"Kejriwal was able to establish a national presence with the emphasis on corruption-free governance; however, the allegations surrounding the liquor scandal have significantly damaged his reputation and undermined the integrity of the Aam Aadmi Party," Mahesh Kumar Goud pointed out.
