Speaking to ANI, Lamba, who left AAP in 2019, also questioned why Arvind Kejriwal was not wearing the “white cap” which he used to sport during the Indian Against Corruption movement.

“...Why is Arvind Kejriwal not wearing the 'white cap' which he used to wear in the Ramlila Ground?... Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi CM Atishi are losing the elections...The people of the Kalkaji Assembly constituency are living in worse conditions...” Lamba told ANI.

She said that Kejriwal was seeking support from chief ministers of other states to win the elections. Lamba also accused the AAP of being the “B team” of the BJP in Delhi.

“...Today, the former CM (Arvind Kejriwal) is seeking support from the Chief Ministers of other states to save his ship instead of asking for votes based on his work...BJP has formed its B team (AAP) to oust Congress from the state and the country. ...”

She also said that Delhi CM Atishi is asking for votes based on the work of former CM Kejriwal.

"Atishi is not asking for votes based on her work, she is asking for votes based on the work of the former CM...Arvind Kejriwal will soon go to jail...Arvind Kejriwal insulted the current CM by calling him a temporary CM...Our fight is with AAP...The people of Delhi are trusting the Congress party," she was quoted as saying by ANI.
