Chandigarh, September 9
The alliance talk between AAP and Congress has reportedly failed as Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has announced the first list 20 candidates of Haryana Assembly polls today.
The party has fielded Anurag Dhandha from Kalayat, Pawan Fauji from Uchana Kala, Indu Sharma from Bhivani, and Bijendra Hooda from Rohtak. Indu Sharma will contest from Bhiwani, Narendra Sharma from Pundri and Gurpal Singh from Naraingrarh.
The talks between the two parties seems to have been stuck over the number of seats to be contested by the Arvind Kejriwal's party, with the AAP demanding 10 seats and the Congress offering five in the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections.
Earlier today, AAP's Haryana unit chief Sushil Gupta said that his party will release the names of candidates from all the 90 seats if the alliance talks with Congress is not finalised by the evening.
"We will release the list of candidates for the 90 seats by the evening," Gupta told PTI said when he was asked regarding the alliance talks with the grand old party.
Gupta said the party has been waiting for a response from Congress but the grand old party has not come out with its response so far.
The Haryana unit chief further said the party workers are ready to strongly contest all the 90 Assembly seats the state.
