Voting for 90 assembly seats of Haryana is to be held on October 5. All the parties are busy in making strategies and finalizing the names of the candidates. But everyone’s eyes are on the possible alliance of Congress and Aam Aadmi Party. Both the parties are continuously holding meetings regarding this alliance. Many rounds of meetings have been held. But there is a deadlock regarding the distribution of seats.
Know why there is a ‘problem’ in the alliance
According to sources, Aam Aadmi Party is demanding 10 seats in Haryana, while Congress has offered 7 seats. Aam Aadmi Party sources say that they contested one seat in the Lok Sabha elections. There are 9 assembly seats in this Lok Sabha constituency. On this basis, AAP wants to get 10 seats in the assembly.
Several rounds of talks have taken place
Aam Aadmi Party sources say that three to five rounds of talks have taken place between the party leaders and the Congress. Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal has held meetings with AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha. Now it is believed that Venugopal may hold a meeting with the AAP MP tomorrow as well. Aam Aadmi Party sources say that Arvind Kejriwal will take the final decision on the alliance. It is reported that the third round of meeting between KC Venugopal and Raghav Chadha is possible tomorrow (Wednesday).
Congress formed a committee
Congress has formed a committee to look into the possibilities of an alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party in Haryana. This committee will look into all aspects related to the alliance in the state and submit a report to the party high command. Based on this report, it will probably be decided how many seats can be given to AAP in the state assembly elections.
