Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Seat-sharing between the Aam Aadmi Party and Congress has been finalised for all the states except Punjab, sources have said.
The settlement was reached as Delhi CM and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal met Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi in Delhi.
The meeting was held at Mallikarjun Kharge's residence in New Delhi, a day ahead of Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra which commences on Sunday.
According to sources, the details of the seat-sharing as to which party will contest on how many seats will be announced later.
Arvind Kejriwal was seeking time to meet Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge ever since the Delhi Amendment Bill was brought in the Parliament but he didn't get time.
Even in the first meeting of I.N.D.I.A bloc in Patna, Rahul Gandhi refused to have a one-to-one meeting with Kejriwal. But the leaders finally held one-on-one talks today. The meeting took place for over one and a half hours.
