Congress and AAP discuss Haryana election alliance : CPI(M) and SP also show interest

INDC Network : Hariyana : Discussions are in full swing on the possibilities of alliance for the Haryana assembly elections, in which Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are playing a major role. This development came to light when Congress' Haryana in-charge Deepak Babaria confirmed that talks are going on between Congress and AAP regarding an alliance. The possibilities of this alliance and its implications are considered important in Haryana politics, as it can be a major step towards challenging the BJP.

Alliance talks between Congress and AAP:

Congress party's Haryana in-charge Deepak Babaria on Wednesday confirmed that alliance talks are on between the Congress and AAP. The talks gained momentum when AAP MP Raghav Chaddha was seen leaving Babaria's residence where discussions were held on a possible alliance. The alliance of Congress and AAP in the upcoming assembly elections in Haryana is raising hopes of a strong opposition against the BJP.

AAP's Haryana unit president Sushil Gupta also expressed his opinion on this. He said that AAP has made preparations to contest all 90 seats, but the final decision on the alliance will be taken by the party high command. Sushil Gupta's statement is an indication that serious discussions are going on within AAP regarding the alliance, although the party has completed preparations on all its seats.

SP and CPI(M) in contact with Congress

In this alliance discussion, Samajwadi Party (SP) and Marxist Communist Party (CPI-M) have also contacted Congress. Both these parties want to mark their presence in Haryana and have discussed the possibility of alliance with Congress. Deepak Babaria said that SP and CPI-M have expressed hope of very few seats, so that they can make their mark in the state. He also said that Congress is looking for such seats which are convenient for them and Congress.

This development has made it clear that the Congress is trying to form a broad alliance in Haryana, which may include various regional and national parties. This will not only create a strong front against the BJP, but this alliance can also create new political equations in the state.

Rahul Gandhi and the possibilities of alliance

According to sources, Rahul Gandhi had sought the opinion of Haryana Congress members on a possible alliance with AAP in the Congress Central Election Committee (CEC) meeting on Monday. This shows that this alliance is being seriously considered even at the high level of the Congress. This initiative of Rahul Gandhi has also raised hopes among Congress workers that through the alliance, a tough fight can be given to the BJP.

Sanjay Singh, a senior AAP leader, also welcomed reports that Rahul Gandhi has sought the opinion of Congress leaders on a possible alliance between the two parties in the upcoming assembly elections in Haryana. However, he clarified that the final decision will be taken only after consulting Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. This also shows that serious thoughts are going on within the AAP about the alliance, and instructions from the party leadership are awaited.

Manish Sisodia's statement and BJP's protest

Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia also gave his opinion on this issue. He said that the main objective of AAP is to oust the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from power. Sisodia claimed that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will soon come out of jail, after which a final decision will be taken on the alliance and the party's role in the elections. Arvind Kejriwal is currently lodged in Delhi's Tihar Jail in connection with the liquor scam, but Sisodia's statement is an indication that AAP is fully prepared for an alliance to oust the BJP from power.

The discussion of a possible alliance between Congress and AAP in the Haryana assembly elections has given new life to the politics of the state. With this alliance, SP and CPI(M) are also trying to make their presence felt. Rahul Gandhi's initiative to seriously consider this issue has made it clear that the Congress is working towards building a strong opposition against the BJP. At the same time, AAP is also trying to strengthen its political power through alliance. It will be interesting to see how this alliance takes shape in the coming days and what impact it has on Haryana politics.
