Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala on Sunday, 7 April, said that there will be no Congress-Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alliance in Punjab and Haryana, and that they would announce the “situation” in Delhi over the next two days.
The AAP has reportedly been asking for the alliance to extend to Haryana and Punjab, where AAP is the principal opposition to the Congress government.
While Delhi has seven Lok Sabha seats, Haryana elects 10 members to the Parliament. Both Delhi and Haryana will go to polls on 12 May, while Punjab will vote on 19 May.
The Congress has reportedly agreed to amend its manifesto and grant full statehood to Delhi, excluding the NDMC areas, if it comes to power.
Until full statehood becomes a reality, the Congress has agreed that the Delhi Lieutenant Governor will be an elected government nominee, sources said.
