New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday released its first list of 20 candidates for Haryana assembly elections amid stalled pre-poll alliance talks with Congress.
The party has fielded its Haryana unit vice president Anurag Dhanda from Kalayat and Indu Sharma from Bhiwani. Vikas Nehra has been fielded from Meham and Bijender Hooda from Rohtak.
The Congress and Aam Aadmi Party had been holding talks for a pre-poll alliance in Haryana, the hometown of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
The talks were stuck over the number of seats to be contested by the AAP. As per a PTI report, the AAP is demanding 10 seats while the Congress is offering five.
Earlier in the day, AAP’s state unit chief Sushil Gupta said his party will release the names of candidates from all the 90 seats if the deal is not finalised by the evening.
AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha, who was leading the talks on behalf of the party, had said,”We will take a decision well before (September) 12, the last day of filing nomination. If there is no win-win situation, we will leave it. The talks are going on, good discussions are happening. I hope a good conclusion will come out of it.”
