As Delhi gears up for its assembly elections in February 2025, a heated exchange unfolded on social media between Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia and Bharatiya Janata Party Member of Parliament Manoj Tiwari. The controversy began after Manoj Tiwari shared a viral 9-second clip on X (formerly Twitter), allegedly showing Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party Convenor Arvind Kejriwal mocking the Constitution of India. In the clip, Arvind Kejriwal is heard saying, “Whoever has written the Constitution must be drunk while writing it.”
Manoj Tiwari claimed the video exposed Arvind Kejriwal’s “true colours” and questioned his respect for the Constitution. However, Manish Sisodia responded sharply, accusing Manoj Tiwari of spreading a misleading, edited video. Manish Sisodia shared the full 19-second clip, clarifying that Arvind Kejriwal was referring to the Constitution of the Congress party, not the Constitution of India. In the unedited footage, Arvind Kejriwal is heard saying, “The Constitution of Congress says no worker shall consume liquor. Someone amongst us said the one who wrote the Constitution must have been drunk while writing it.”
Manish Sisodia strongly condemned Manoj Tiwari’s actions, urging him to maintain the dignity of his position as a Member of Parliament. “You are tweeting lies. If not for yourself, at least respect the post of an MP,” Manish Sisodia wrote on X, calling out Manoj Tiwari for behaving like a “cheap troll.”
Manoj Tiwari responded by resharing Manish Sisodia’s post and asserted that although the video referred to the Congress Constitution, Arvind Kejriwal should have explicitly clarified this distinction to avoid misinterpretation. Manoj Tiwari argued that such statements could cause confusion and demanded greater accountability from Arvind Kejriwal.
This exchange highlights the growing political rivalry between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Aam Aadmi Party as they prepare for the upcoming Delhi assembly elections. Both parties have intensified their campaigns, announcing numerous schemes and initiatives to gain voter support, signaling an increasingly competitive electoral battle in 2025.
