The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has announced its first list of 20 candidates for the upcoming Haryana assembly elections scheduled for October 5, amid stalled alliance talks with the Congress party. Key candidates include Anurag Dhanda from Kalayat, Vikas Nehra from Meham, and Bijender Hooda from Rohtak. AAP's Haryana unit chief Sushil Gupta indicated that the party was prepared to contest all 90 seats if no agreement with Congress was reached by the day's end. Congress has already released a total of 41 candidates and is negotiating a 'win-win alliance' with AAP, which is currently demanding ten seats while Congress has offered five. The deadline for filing nominations is September 12, and both parties are eager to finalize their arrangements before this date. This situation reflects the complexities of coalition politics in the lead-up to the elections.
