The unity of the INDIA Opposition bloc has taken another hit, this time in the Northeast. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has announced three candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, flagging delays in finalising seat-sharing with the Congress.
The AAP has fielded Manoj Dhanowar from Dibrugarh seat, Bhaben Chaudhary from Guwahati and Rishi Raj Kauntinya from Tezpur. Assam has 14 Lok Sabha seats.
Announcing the candidates' names, AAP MP and national general secretary (organisation) Sandeep Pathak said talks within the INDIA alliance have been going on "for months". "We are tired of talking now. We have to contest, and win, elections. There is no time. We are fully with the INDIA alliance and I hope that the alliance will allot these three seats to AAP," he said.
