"After Sheila Dikshit's remark, it becomes clear that all through AAP has been a B team of Congress," Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay said in a statement.
Upadhyay also said that Delhiites should now choose the BJP in the Assembly elections and reject both these parties.
"It is now for the people of Delhi to choose between opportunist parties like AAP & Congress or the symbol of development BJP. The statement is indicative of conceding defeat," the Delhi BJP chief also said.
However, Congress termed Dikshit's comments as her personal opinion.
Congress had extended outside support to AAP to form a government in the city after the assembly polls in December 2013. Congress had got 8 seats while AAP had won 28 seats and BJP had come victorious in 31 seats.
