New Delhi:
The Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress have agreed to a 4:3 seat-sharing formula for Delhi to put up a joint fight in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. They have also reached a deal for Gujarat, Haryana, Goa, and Chandigarh.
In Delhi, the Arvind Kejriwal-led party will contest four out of the seven seats – West Delhi, South Delhi, East Delhi and New Delhi. The remaining three – North East Delhi, North West Delhi and Chandni Chowk – will go to the grand old party.
In the 2019 election the BJP won all seven seats.
The seat-sharing announcement was made during a joint press conference of the AAP and the Congress, weeks after the opposition’s INDIA bloc delivered their first electoral win in the Chandigarh mayoral poll.
