In a significant political development ahead of the Lok Sabha elections 2024, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress have formalized a seat-sharing arrangement across multiple states including Delhi, Haryana, Gujarat, Goa, and Chandigarh as part of the INDIA Alliance. This alliance aims to consolidate opposition efforts against the BJP. The agreement has sparked reactions from political leaders. Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva criticized the alliance, labeling AAP and Congress as 'corrupt and loser parties'. AAP leaders assert that the BJP has intensified its efforts to undermine AAP, particularly targeting Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal with potential arrests by the ED and CBI in response to the alliance. Congress leaders argue that the alliance is a strategic move to strengthen the opposition's position in the upcoming elections. The seat-sharing deal includes specific allocations, such as the Bharuch seat in Gujarat to AAP, while maintaining separate contests in regions like Punjab.
