New Delhi [India], September 10 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday exuded confidence in the party’s victory in the upcoming elections in Haryana and stated that their only aim remains to defeat the BJP.
“I have been regularly doing ‘padyatras’ in all constituencies of Delhi. I am getting a lot of love and support from everyone. Arvind Kejriwal has worked for nine years for the welfare of the people of Delhi. When the BJP could not stop Arvind Kejriwal, his popularity, and the love showered on him by the people of Delhi, they put him behind bars, soon Arvind Kejriwal will be out and complete all the pending work in the capital,” Sisodia said.
“We are ready to contest elections in Haryana. Our party has reached every village and city of the state. Our only aim is to defeat the BJP,” he added.
Sisodia said that although talks for an alliance with Congress didn’t work out, AAP workers are still motivated and working hard to defeat the BJP.
“Talks were going on with Congress for an alliance but that could not happen. Despite that, AAP workers are full of energy and are working tirelessly on the ground to defeat the BJP,” Sisodia said.
Earlier today, Aam Aadmi Party leader Sushil Gupta announced that discussions with the Congress Party for a potential alliance had concluded, citing the need to finalise candidates swiftly due to the nomination deadline being just three days away.
“We’ve released the first list and soon you will get the second list. Now there is very little time left for the elections. We waited honestly (for the alliance) because the organisation is strong in every assembly and that strong organisation wanted us to contest the elections. We have shown our patience and after that, we released our list. I think the result will be positive for Haryana and BJP will be removed from Haryana,” Gupta said on Monday.
He emphasised that AAP remains a committed partner in the INDI Alliance at the national level and said, “We were a partner of the INDI Alliance. We are a partner of INDI Alliance at the national level.”
The AAP announced names of 20 candidates including those for some prominent seats in the state, like Bhiwani, Rohtak, Bahadurgarh, and Ballabhgarh.
Indu Sharma has been fielded from Bhiwani, Bijender Hooda from Rohtak, Kuldeep Chikara from Bahadurgarh, Manish Yadav from Mahendragarh, Dharmendra Khatana from Sohna and Ravinder Faujdar from Ballabhgarh.
The other candidates included in the first list are Gurpal Singh from Naraingarh, Anurag Dhandha from Kalayat, Narender Sharma from Pundri, Jaipal Sharma from Gharaunda, Amandeep Jundla from Assandh, Bittu Pahalwan from Samalkha, Pawan Fauji from Uchana Kalan, Kuldeep Gadrana from Dabwali, and Happy Raina from Rania seat.
The voting to the 90-member legislative assembly in Haryana is scheduled to be held on October 5 and the last date for filing nominations is September 12.
The counting of votes will be held on October 8. (ANI)
