"We have to save democracy in the country," says Delhi Cong chief Arvinder Singh Lovely

New Delhi [India], April 9 (ANI): Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in the country, Delhi Congress President Arvinder Singh Lovely lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) saying that they are depriving the opposition of fighting polls on a level playing filed.
"The bank accounts of the leaders of the biggest party have been frozen. Leaders like Hemant Soren and Arvind Kejriwal have been arrested. The timing is questionable. We want free and fair elections. They are not letting us fight elections on a level playing field. It is about survival for all," he said.
On being asked about how much support the Congress party has been receiving from the Aam Admi Party (AAP) in the upcoming general elections, he said that both parties have carried out a rally together.
"We fully understand that right now there is a challenge to save the democracy of the country. We will both cooperate for the same," he added.

Speaking on the Congress' election campaign in the national capital, he said that the Congress has already carried out public campaigns in Delhi's three Lok Sabha constituencies. Even Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge came to address one.
"The guarantee card which is a part of our election manifesto was formally launched in Gonda. Now we are making a strategy to take this guarantee card to the Lok Sabha constituencies in Delhi," he said.
