Nobel laureate Amartya Sen has called for greater political collaboration between the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to bolster a secular stance in Indian politics. During an interview in West Bengal, Sen emphasized the critical need for unity to maintain India's pluralistic values.

Reflecting on AAP's electoral setbacks, Sen highlighted the fragmented opposition and AAP's unclear commitment to secularism as factors hindering their success. He commended AAP’s achievements in healthcare and education but stressed the necessity for cohesive alliances with Congress on these fronts.

Sen warned of the broader implications of the Delhi elections, particularly for regions like Uttar Pradesh, emphasizing the need for a united vision against Hindutva politics. He remains hopeful for India's future, advocating for non-corrupt, justice-oriented governance.
