Since coming together in July last year, the Congress and AAP have exchanged passive-aggressive words on several occasions.
The INDIA bloc will hold a meeting today to discuss the seat-sharing for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and a plan to challenge the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in the elections.

The meeting will be held virtually at 11.30 am today. Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh on Friday said that the participation of the alliance parties in the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which is set to begin on January 14 in Manipur, will also be an agenda at the meeting.
