The Congress and the AAP are part of the INDIA bloc which aims to put up a joint fight against the BJP in the 2024 polls.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today took a step forward to solve the seat-sharing deadlock with ally Congress in Assam, dropping its candidate from Guwahati as a "sacrifice". The AAP also challenged the Congress to withdraw its contenders where both the parties have nominated their representatives.
The Congress and the AAP are part of the INDIA bloc which aims to put up a joint fight against the BJP in the 2024 polls, and talks are on to allocate seats to the ally partners.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led party had earlier named candidates to three out of 14 seats in Assam: Guwahati, Sonitpur, and Dibrugarh. The Congress has declared it will fight 13 seats and is expected to strike a seat-sharing deal with its regional ally Assam Jatiya Parishad for Dibrugarh.
