NATION Amidst Political Tensions, Rahul Gandhi’s Birthday Message to Arvind Kejriwal, Says 'India Stands with..' Rahul Gandhi sends warm birthday greetings to Arvind Kejriwal despite the ongoing animosity between the AAP and the Congress. Sparsh Goel Aug 16, 2024 10:07 GMT Arvind Kejriwal Birthday: The 16th of August is a big day for the Aam Aadmi Party. It is the birthday of their National Convenor and Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal. AAP workers from the farthest corners of the country are in joyous spirits as they celebrate with all kinds of activities. And on that remarkable day, an ultra-high-end gesture has come out of somewhere people least expected, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi Extends Birthday Wishes to Arvind Kejriwal दिल्ली के मुख्यमंत्री श्री अरविंद केजरीवाल जी को जन्मदिन की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं।आशा करता हूं कि आप स्वस्थ रहें, खुशहाल रहें। अन्याय के विरुद्ध इस युद्ध में INDIA आपके साथ है।— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) August 16, 2024 Despite the recent rift between AAP and Congress, Rahul Gandhi wished Kejriwal on social media. On his Twitter handle, Gandhi said, "Heartiest birthday wishes to Delhi Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal ji. May you remain healthy and happy. He said, "India is with you in this war against injustice." Here, the term "India" in Gandhiji's message is seen to relate to the political alliance between parties, reflecting a supportive stance despite ongoing political friction. Political Rift and Recent Developments That the congratulatory note came from Gandhi at a time when AAP and Congress are not on amiable terms makes it especially noteworthy. For example, the AAP recently decided to contest the Haryana assembly elections alone and broke ranks with Congress's political strategy. Other points of disagreement in Punjab have widened the gulf between them. Despite these dissensions, this message from Gandhi still reflects the overall cooperative attitude displayed at the Centre. The gesture by Rahul Gandhi makes headlines, but it becomes an exemplary act showing respect and acknowledgment between two leaders across political grounds, despite differences in ideology and strategy. As both parties forge through their political journeys, moments like these bring to our memory the most complex dynamics within Indian politics, where personal gestures can sometimes rise above greater political chasms.
