Congress Leader Ajay Singh Yadav Says No Alliance Needed in Haryana, AAP Won’t Affect Polls
New Delhi [India], September 5: Congress leader Ajay Singh Yadav affirmed that the Congress party does not need an alliance in Haryana as its popularity is at its peak. He added that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will not cause any loss in the upcoming Assembly polls.
Yadav stated, “Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, and Sonia Gandhi are the ones who will decide whether we need to form an alliance or not. As far as my personal opinion is concerned, Congress does not need an alliance in Haryana. The popularity of Congress is at its peak. AAP can cause no loss to Congress. Why should AAP be allowed to enter Haryana?”
After attending the sub-screening committee in New Delhi, Yadav mentioned that he has recommended two candidates who can win. “We have deliberated on our OBC candidates who can win. I have also given recommendations on two candidates who can win,” he said.
Earlier, AICC in-charge of Haryana, Deepak Babaria, confirmed talks with AAP for the Haryana polls. He said that apart from AAP, INDIA bloc partners, including the Communist Party of India (CPIM) and the Samajwadi Party, have also approached them to fight the assembly elections together in the state. “Currently we are speaking to the Aam Aadmi Party. One or two other parties have also approached; we will respond in a day or two. CPI (M) and the Samajwadi Party approached us. They are expecting a very small number. They want to make their presence felt in the state. We are also looking for a seat that is convenient for us and them,” Babaria stated.
According to sources, Rahul Gandhi has sought the opinion of Haryana Congress leaders over the possibility of an alliance with AAP for the forthcoming Haryana Assembly elections during the party’s Central Election Committee (CEC) meeting held in the national capital on Monday.
Arvind Kejriwal had earlier stated that his party would contest the Haryana Assembly polls in all 90 seats on its own strength. The elections in Haryana will be held in a single phase on October 5, and the counting of votes will happen on October 8.
