The next step is to discuss seat-sharing, for which Rajya Sabha MPs Raghav Chadha for the AAP and KC Venugopal for the Congress will meet either tonight or tomorrow.
The Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party have reached a 'principal understanding' to ally ahead of next month's Haryana Assembly election, sources told NDTV Tuesday evening.
The next step is divvying up the Assembly's 90 seats - a potentially tricky topic. AAP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha and Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal will meet tonight or tomorrow to sort this out, sources said. The deadline for nominations is October 4 with voting on October 5.
There is no word on this alliance, should it hold through the Haryana election, extending into 2025 and the Delhi Assembly election, in which the AAP has triumphed every time since 2013 but faces a stern test this time, with Chief Minister and party boss Arvind Kejriwal still in jail in the liquor policy case.
