NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has decided to contest next year’s Assembly polls independently, leveraging its entire resources and manpower, said AAP leader Gopal Rai.
After a meeting of party MLAs and senior leaders at Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence, Rai told reporters that the party gave full support to the INDIA bloc in the Lok Sabha polls.
Clarifying the party’s stance, Rai said that the INDIA bloc was established specifically for the Lok Sabha elections from the outset. However, when it comes to the Vidhan Sabha elections, AAP will fight elections with its full strength, he told reporters.
“This is clear from the very first day that the INDIA alliance was formed for Lok Sabha elections. As far as Vidhan Sabha is concerned, no alliance has been formed. AAP will fight elections with its full strength.”
The AAP-Congress combine drew a blank in the Lok Sabha polls in Delhi, with BJP effecting a clean sweep on all seven parliamentary seats for a record third time.
