Mr Chadha's assertion comes amid signs of a thaw in relations between the AAP and the Congress over seat-sharing for the general election.
AAP leader Raghav Chadha has predicted a "historic and decisive" win for the INDIA bloc in Thursday's Chandigarh mayoral election, and billed the INDIA vs BJP contest as the perfect curtain-raiser for the Lok Sabha election due in April/May. "This will be an election where, for the first time, it will be INDIA vs BJP. After this election, the scorecard will be INDIA 1 - BJP 0," he declared.
"INDIA will fight the Chandigarh mayor elections with all its strength, and register a historic and decisive victory. Don't consider this an ordinary election. This will be the first time it will be INDIA vs BJP (and) after this, the scorecard will be INDIA 1, BJP 0," Mr Chadha told reporters this morning.
