AAP's first list surprised everyone as it named 20 candidates. As per the list, AAP senior leader Anurag Dhanda will contest from Kalayat, while Gurpal Singh will contest from Narayangarh. Narendra Sharma has been given ticket from Pundri. Jaipal Sharma has been fielded from Gharaunda. Amandeep Jundla has been given ticket from Assandh, while Bittu Pehalwan has been fielded from Samalkha.
On the failed alliance talks, Sushil Gupta said that their party has been preparing for all the 90 seats from the beginning and they will no longer wait as the the last date for filing nominations, September 12, is fast approaching.
The AAP leaders in Haryana are making hectic preparations to contest alone. They have decided to announce the names of their party candidates for the remaining 70 candidates as early as possible.
