Deepak Babaria Confirms Talks with AAP for Haryana Elections
Deepak Babaria, the AICC in-charge of Haryana, has confirmed that discussions are ongoing with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections. Apart from AAP, other INDIA bloc partners like the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) and the Samajwadi Party have also approached for a potential alliance.
Statements from Key Figures
Babaria stated, “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.”
Earlier today, AAP MP Raghav Chadha was seen leaving Babaria’s residence after a meeting regarding the alliance. AAP Haryana state president Sushil Gupta mentioned that talks are ongoing and that every worker of the Aam Aadmi Party will accept the decision of the high command.
“Today we have a road show and public meeting in Haryana. Manish Sisodia is going today. Our programmes are going on in all 90 assembly seats, we are contesting elections in Haryana with full strength. Talks are going on for an alliance. Aam Aadmi Party is a disciplined party, we follow the orders of our high command. Right now the order of the High Command is that we should fight on all 90 seats and uproot the BJP government,” Gupta said.
According to sources, Rahul Gandhi has sought the opinion of Haryana Congress leaders over the possibility of an alliance with AAP 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.
