AAP's Punjab Unit Says "Won't Ally" With Congress For 2024 Poll: Sources
NDTV
After INDIA's September meet, sources told NDTV seat-sharing talks in some states were likely to be easier than others, and Punjab, and Delhi, were red-flagged.
The Aam Aadmi Party's Punjab unit is unwilling to ally with the Congress - which it routed in last year's Assembly poll - to contest next year's general election, sources told NDTV this afternoon.
This is not the AAP's final position but it spotlights, and might even exacerbate, rifts within the INDIA bloc - of which both parties are members - a day after it met in Delhi to begin seat-sharing talks.
The Congress' Punjab unit too has previously expressed its concerns; its state boss, Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, claimed the party would contest all 13 Lok Sabha seats its own and, in what was seen as a warning, said he was confident no decision would be taken "without our consent".
