AAP will go solo in Delhi Assembly Polls: Arvind Kejriwal
Reportedly former delhi Chief minister and aam aadmi party chief arvind kejriwal on sunday ruled out any alliance with congress for the 2025 assembly elections in the national capital. The move comes as a major jolt to the Opposition’s india bloc which was formed aiming to oust the bjp from power at the Centre. “There will be no alliance in delhi," kejriwal said at a press conference in the city.Perhaps the announcement came in continuation with the AAP’s move in the haryana assembly polls in october this year in which the party had ditched the india bloc and contested the polls on its own. The AAP and congress had attempted to forge an alliance in haryana, however, the seat-sharing talks did not yield any conclusion. Kejriwal’s decision also comes on the back of major poll drubbing of the maha Vikas Aghadi in maharashtra this month, which congress is also a part of, drawing criticism from its allies.Furthermore soon after Kejriwal’s major announcement, the bharatiya janata party took a “friendship with benefits" jibe at the AAP and congress and underlined the loopholes in the Opposition unity in the state and at the national level. AAP had contested all 13 lok sabha seats in punjab on its own, ditching the congress in the state. The AAP is in power in punjab with a huge majority. In 2022 assembly polls in punjab, the kejriwal led party had swept the state winning 92 out of the 117 seats, dislodging congress from power.
