New Delhi: Alliance dreams between Congress and AAP is not going to turn into reality. As per AAP leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia, the alliance talks has run into hot waters with both parties quarreling for seat sharing. He said that there is no hope left for an alliance.
The talks are headed for a dead end when Congress refused for an alliance anywhere else except in Delhi.
Manish Sisodia said,” The Congress doesn’t have a single seat in Delhi, but they are demanding three seats from us. In Punjab, we have 4 MPs and 20 MLAs, yet they are not giving us any seats to contest from the State.”
He added that even though Congress did not have any MP or MLA from Delhi, AAP was ready to give them 3 seats in the state.
The Deputy Chief Minister said that the Congress was playing with them and continues to confuse them about the coalition in the two states. He announced that there won’t be any more talks about seat sharing.
He said, “We are strong in Delhi, while Congress is nowhere close. In Haryana, they denied, even when we offered them seven seats. There is no hope left for a coalition with Congress. We have also closed all the negotiations now. There is no question of seat sharing with the Congress in Delhi.”
Meanwhile, the Kerala unit of AAP announced its support to the Congress led UDF in the coming elections. This has infuriated the national leadership of AAP. The AAP State Convener, C. R. Neelakandan, has been suspended for taking the decision without the knowledge of the national leadership.
The national leadership of AAP decided to extend its support to the CPI(M) in Delhi and in Kerala. However, the move by the Kerala unit of AAP has surprised both the leaderships of AAP and CPI(M).
