AAP-Congress fail to forge alliance 

On Monday, the AAP released their first list of 20 candidates, following which the party released three other lists of 9, 11, and 21 candidates. With the latest list, AAP has announced candidates for 70 seats, out of 90-seat assembly. The latest list comes within hours of the fourth list.  The AAP released its five list after the alliance talks with Congress yielded no results. Notably, the statements were made from both sides that they were negotiating for a united contest in the Haryana assembly polls. However, AAP and Congress failed to reach a consensus on seat sharing. Reportedly, AAP was demanding ten seats in a 90-seat assembly, but the Congress denied its demand, parting ways for isolated struggle in the elections. The AAP later announced that it would contest all the 90 seats. As AAP has announced candidates for 61 seats, the candidate announcement is only left for 29 seats.
