A day before the general election, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday said that Congress-AAP alliance is not possible.
The party also questioned the Congress’ logic of demanding three seats in New Delhi to forge an alliance with the party in the national capital. It has also rejected the offer for alliances in Haryana and Punjab.
“In Punjab, we have four MPs and 20 MLAs. Congress doesn’t want to share seats there. The same situation is in Haryana, Goa, and Chandigarh,” news agency ANI quoted Sanjay Singh as saying.

The AAP leader also accused the Congress of tacitly trying to help the BJP by not allying with the AAP. “We have closed all doors. Congress is not in favour of the alliance. It seems they want to benefit BJP,” he said.
