If the opportunist alliance between AAP & Congress even manages to survive its inherent contradictions it will be the most bizarre political combination in every sense! One that tries to pull wool over the eyes of their own voters.

But the most curious part of this dysfunctional dalliance - they will be together in Delhi, but against each other in Punjab!” he said.
