The talks between Aam Aadmi Party and Congress regarding the alliance for Haryana assembly elections are still going on. Sources have informed that AAP and Congress are ready to contest the elections in Haryana in alliance, but AAP is not in a mood to compromise with Congress on some assembly seats.
If sources are to be believed, Aam Aadmi Party does not want to make any compromise in Kalayat assembly constituencies. Also, AAP is demanding at least one seat in Kurukshetra.
It is being told that AAP is also working on its party’s Plan ‘B’, in which it is keeping an eye on the rebels of Congress and BJP. If things do not work out between Congress and AAP, then Aam Aadmi Party will start releasing its list by giving tickets to other candidates including rebels of Congress-BJP.
what did raghav chaddha say
AAP leader Raghav Chadha, while addressing the media on Sunday, reacting to the Congress-AAP alliance, said, ‘I do not want to make any personal statement or any statement on individual seats. I can only say that both the parties have the desire, wish, desire and hope for an alliance. Look, the last date for filing nominations is 12 September and we will take a decision before 12 September and if we do not agree with the alliance or the situation of winning is not created and if our minds do not match, then we will leave it.
After this, while answering a question, he said that right now I do not want to comment on this. Right now the talks are going on in a positive environment. Good discussions are going on, I have full confidence. I hope that in the interest of Haryana, in the interest of the country and in the interest of democracy, some good conclusion will definitely come out of the talks. I cannot share the figures with all of you. Whether it is the statement of a leader of another party, or a statement of a leader of my party or a matter of an individual seat, I will not comment on any person, allegation or seat. Hopefully soon we will all come in front of the media and give you good news. “
Attack by Somnath Bharti
Before Raghav Chadha, AAP MLA Somnath Bharti called the alliance with Congress a mismatch and questioned Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge. He said that Congress and BJP secretly work together to defeat the Aam Aadmi Party. During the Lok Sabha elections, Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka and Kharge did not campaign for AAP candidates in Delhi. He alleged that Congress leaders helped the BJP and the alleged liquor scam in which Arvind Kejriwal and AAP leaders went to jail was a conspiracy of Congress leader Ajay Maken. Before forming an AAP-Congress alliance in Haryana, the Aam Aadmi Party should evaluate the effectiveness of a similar alliance formed in Delhi during the Lok Sabha elections.
He said that our national convenor Arvind Kejriwal did road shows for all three Congress candidates in the Lok Sabha elections, senior AAP leaders and cabinet ministers campaigned for the Congress candidates. But the AAP candidates, especially me, were not supported at all by the Delhi Congress and local leaders.
Let us tell you that voting will be held on October 5 for 90 assembly seats in Haryana and counting of votes will be done on October 8. Earlier voting was to be held on October 1 in Haryana.
