The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress, as partners in the INDIA bloc, have finalized their seat-sharing arrangement in Delhi, Haryana, Goa, Chandigarh, and Gujarat for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. However, they were unable to reach an agreement for Punjab.
Under the agreement between the ruling party in Delhi and the Congress, the Congress party will contest three out of the seven Lok Sabha seats in the national capital, while the AAP will field candidates in the remaining four constituencies. However, in Punjab, the AAP will contest the elections independently without a coalition with any other party.
