Haryana Polls: AAP Releases First List of 20 Candidates Amid Standoff In Alliance Talks With Cong

Haryana Elections: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) released its first list of 20 candidates on Monday for the October 5 Haryana assembly elections, amid reports of a failed consensus on seat-sharing 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.

According to various media reports the Congress was unwilling to allocate more than five seats to AAP, while the latter sought representation in double digits. The party's Haryana chief, Sushil Gupta, confirmed earlier today that AAP will declare its candidates for all 90 assembly seats by this evening if an alliance with Congress does not materialize. 

Gupta expressed confidence in the party's readiness, stating that every AAP worker in Haryana is prepared to contest vigorously across all constituencies.
