AAP and Congress Seat Sharing Speculations Heat Up Ahead of Haryana Elections

Amidst seat sharing speculations between AAP and Congress for the Haryana elections, AAP leaders affirm readiness for full-strength candidacy while discussing potential alliances. AICC's Deepak Babaria confirms discussions with multiple parties, as BJP criticizes the proposed alliance for lacking a clear mission or vision.

Amid ongoing seat-sharing speculation between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress for the upcoming Haryana elections, AAP MP and General Secretary for Organisation, Dr. Sandeep Pathak, conveyed that the party is poised to announce candidates pending leadership's directives. Speaking at a press conference, Pathak stated, "We are ready to contest elections with full strength on every seat, and those who underestimate us will regret it."

On Friday, AAP MP Raghav Chadha revealed discussions about a potential alliance with the Congress in the national interest, aiming to favor Haryana and the country. "Talks are ongoing, and we are hopeful an alliance will form," Chadha stated, highlighting the efforts being made towards a coalition.

Adding to the confirmations, AICC in-charge of Haryana, Deepak Babaria, stated that other INDIA bloc partners, including the Communist Party of India (CPIM) and the Samajwadi Party, have approached to collaborate for the assembly elections. Babaria mentioned, "We are currently speaking to AAP, and other parties have approached us. We aim to finalise a conducive arrangement soon."

Meanwhile, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala criticized the potential alliance, suggesting it lacks a clear mission or vision. Poonawala accused both parties of desperation and inconsistency, particularly citing their oppositions in Punjab and Delhi. "The INDI alliance has no mission or vision but is driven by personal ambitions and an obsession with Modi," Poonawala argued, asserting that their alliances are formed to protect corruption and are bound to falter.
