New Delhi: An alliance between the AAP and the Congress for the Lok Sabha elections in Delhi and other states, including Gujarat and Haryana, could be officially declared on Saturday, according to AAP sources.
The Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are part of the INDIA alliance, which was created by opposition parties to challenge the BJP in the upcoming elections.
The announcement of alliance and seat-sharing arrangements for Delhi, Gujarat, Goa, Chandigarh and Haryana could be made at a joint press conference at 11.30 am, the sources said.
In Delhi, the AAP will contest four of the seven Lok Sabha seats -- West Delhi, South Delhi, New Delhi and East Delhi, and the Congress will get Chandani Chowk, North East Delhi and North West Delhi, they said.
The AAP has already announced its candidates on two Lok Sabha seats -- Bharuch and Bhavnagar -- in Gujarat and the South Goa seat.
It is also likely to get one seat -- Faridabad or Gurugram -- in Haryana, the sources added.
