As the Haryana Assembly elections approach, Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are in discussions for a potential alliance to consolidate opposition votes against the BJP. AAP is demanding 10 seats, while Congress has offered between 3 and 7 seats. Despite AAP's historical underperformance in Haryana, their recent close contest in Kurukshetra has fueled their seat demands. Congress leader Deepak Babaria emphasized that any agreement must benefit both parties, with a decision expected soon. Meanwhile, Congress has already finalized candidates for a significant number of constituencies, reflecting their advanced state of preparations. Both parties are motivated by the goal to prevent vote fragmentation and strengthen their position against the ruling BJP.
