The Aam Aadmi Party’s Delhi unit convener Gopal Rai on Thursday said that his party’s alliance with the Congress was only for the Lok Sabha elections, suggesting that it might go solo in the Assembly elections in the national capital, reported PTI.
The Assembly elections in Delhi are likely to be held early next year.
In the Lok Sabha elections, the Aam Aadmi Party and its INDIA bloc partner the Congress contested all seven seats of the national capital in an alliance. The Congress fielded its candidates from Northeast Delhi, Northwest Delhi and Chandni Chowk constituencies. The Aam Aadmi Party fought the polls from the West Delhi, South Delhi, East Delhi and the New Delhi constituencies.
However, the alliance failed to win any seat in Delhi. The Bharatiya Janata Party won in all seven constituencies.
After a meeting with the party’s senior leaders and MLAs on Thursday, Rai said: “Earlier as well, we made it clear that the alliance with the Congress was only for the general election, and we fought it together with honesty.”
“For the state Assembly elections, there is no need for the INDIA alliance,” Rai was quoted as saying by The Hindu. “We will fight the polls with the help of the people of Delhi, and we will win.”
