Even After Haryana Setback, AAP Declares to Go Alone in Delhi Polls

New Delhi: Even after drawing a blank in the Haryana Assembly Polls, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has again reiterated that it will fight the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections all alone without any alliance with any other party.

As reported by The Tribune, AAP spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said, “We will contest alone in Delhi. We are capable of doing it. We will put forward our work and will work hard.”

The AAP is expected to face a stiff competition from both the BJP and the Congress if it decides to contest without alliance for the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, scheduled in February.

AAP’s announcement will be a thing to ponder over for the Congress as it has not won a single seat in the Delhi Legislative Assembly since 2013.

In Haryana, the AAP had demanded 10 seats, however, the Congress was adamant on offering only seven seats. So, alliance did not materialize, affecting both parties.

AAP is in government in Delhi since 2015, under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal. It is now eyeing for its third consecutive term in the Capital.

The saffron party is expected to make a strong pitch for change, banking on its Central government influence and recent gains in other states.

The Congress, though not that strong, could play the role of a spoiler if it manages to improve its vote share in Delhi, especially in areas where anti-incumbency is growing.
