14 Feb 2019 Evaluate

The Congress has more or less ruled out an alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, a day after he had participated in a meeting with opposition leaders, including Congress president Rahul Gandhi. Asked whether the AAP was more eager for an alliance with the Congress, he said the BJP would benefit in a three-cornered contest.

Moving forward on a united anti-BJP front for the Lok Sabha elections, top opposition leaders including Rahul Gandhi and Mamata Banerjee has agreed to work together to prepare a common minimum programme to oust the Modi government and to consider forging a pre-poll alliance. The meeting, hosted by NCP president Sharad Pawar at his residence, also saw Congress chief Gandhi and Kejriwal coming together for the first time.
