Congress- AAP alliance : Whenever the decision is taken we will know says Surjewala

The AAP has been seeking an alliance with the Congress in Delhi but the grand old party has not made its stand clear on the possible tie-up. However, after getting no clear response from the Congress the AAP declared its last candidate in Delhi for the Lok Sabha polls.

New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi and leaders of the party's Delhi unit failed to reach a consensus on an alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party on Monday, with Congress leaders saying the party chief would take the final call.

According to sources, Gandhi held a meeting with all top leaders of the Delhi Congress and discussed the issue with them once again, after having earlier decided to go it alone in Delhi.

When asked in this regard, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said whether or not there will be any alliance in Delhi, "We will know soon".

"As on today, no such call has been taken. What will happen in three hours or two days, I cannot today predict.

Surjewala claimed that the BJP has lost 14 allies since 2014 and the Congress has already finalised its alliances in several states.

The AAP has been seeking an alliance with the Congress in Delhi but the grand old party has not made its stand clear on the possible tie-up. However, after getting no clear response from the Congress, the AAP declared its last candidate in Delhi for the Lok Sabha polls, with a senior leader saying the announcement was made seeing the Congress’ “irresponsible and indecisive” attitude towards the alliance.

The rethink on the Congress alliance with AAP in Delhi has come after intervention of opposition leaders like Sharad Pawar, who is asking both the parties to come together to unitedly defeat the BJP.
