Rahul Gandhi Urges Party To Consider Alliance In Haryana. What AAP Says

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, it is learnt, has sought party leaders' opinion on forging an alliance with AAP for the Haryana election

Elections in Haryana are just a month away and preparations by political parties are in full swing. Amid the poll countdown, a big question is doing the rounds in political circles -- will the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) continue their alliance from the Lok Sabha polls?

In an interview to NDTV a week back, former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said there have been no talks on an alliance between the two parties. "The alliance we had was at the national level. We have not spoken to them. Here the fight is between BJP and Congress," he said. In the Lok Sabha election earlier this year, the Congress managed to win five seats in Haryana -- a big improvement from 2019 when the BJP won the state's all 10 seats. The AAP, however, scored zero in this general election in the state.
