Congress Faces AAP’s 20-Seat Demand in Haryana

Congress Faces AAP’s 20-Seat Demand in Haryana Elections

The Congress party is facing a significant challenge as it navigates alliance negotiations with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections. AAP is demanding around 20 seats, according to sources, complicating Congress’s plans to secure a powerful coalition against the ruling BJP.

Key Highlights:

Alliance Negotiations:
During a recent meeting of the Congress’s Central Election Committee (CEC), a top leader presented a list of demands from AAP, which included approximately 20 seats. Congress, eager to capitalize on the anti-incumbency wave against the BJP, finds itself in a delicate position as it balances coalition dynamics with its own strategic goals.
AAP’s Seat Demand:
AAP’s demand for 20 seats stems from its recent performance in the Lok Sabha elections, where it secured a seat in alliance with Congress. AAP argues that this entitles it to a substantial share of assembly seats. However, Congress’s state unit is hesitant, highlighting that the INDIA bloc is a national alliance, not bound by local seat-sharing norms.
Leadership’s Stand:
Despite previous failed alliances, particularly in Delhi, Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, are open to exploring an agreement with AAP. Sources indicate that the Congress leadership may propose offering AAP a reduced number of seats, possibly around two or three, aligning with the party’s broader strategy.
Pressure from Other Allies:
Congress also faces pressure from other INDIA bloc partners, like the Samajwadi Party, who urge Congress to act as the senior partner in the coalition and be more accommodating in seat-sharing decisions.
AAP’s Response:
AAP MP Sanjay Singh welcomed reports of Rahul Gandhi’s willingness to forge an alliance, emphasizing the shared goal of defeating the BJP in Haryana.

Haryana, with 90 Assembly seats, will go to the polls on October 5, with results expected on October 8. Congress’s final decision on seat allocation remains crucial in shaping the coalition’s strategy against the BJP.
