New Delhi: Congress leader Mukul Wasnik confirmed on Saturday that the Aam Admi Party (AAP) will contest four Lok Sabha seats in Delhi, whereas the Congress party is set to have three seats in the INDIA alliance.
He further added that the AAP will contest the Bharuch and Bhavnagar Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat. Moreover, AAP leader Sandeep Pathak said that both parties have decided to contest Lok Sabha polls separately in Punjab.
On the other hand, in Haryana, Congress will contest 9 out of 10 LS seats, and AAP will contest from Kurukshetra, he said while addressing a joint press conference.
Wasnik also said that even though the two parties will fight over different election symbols, they will work to ensure success in all seven seats in Delhi.
"In Gujarat, the AAP will contest from Bharuch and Bhavnagar, while the Congress will field its candidates from the remaining 24 seats in the state. In Haryana, the AAP will contest the Lok Sabha polls from Kurukshetra. The Congress will contest both Lok Sabha seats in Goa," he said. The Congress will also contest the lone seat in Chandigarh, Wasnik said.
The Congress and the AAP are constituents of the INDIA bloc, formed by opposition parties to take on the BJP in the impending general elections. The AAP has already announced candidates for the Bharuch and the Bhavnagar Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat.
"Today the country needs a strong alternative. This alliance has been formed in the interest of the country. This election will be fought by the INDIA bloc. The BJP's calculations will go wrong because of the alliance," Pathak said. (With Agency Inputs)
