The Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday released its sixth list of candidates for upcoming assembly polls in Haryana. The party has fielded senior leader Prem Garg from Panchkula and Manish Arora from Ellenabad.
The party named its candidates for the Kalka, Ambala City, Mulana, Shahabad, Pehowa, Guhla, Panipat, Jind, Fatehabad, Ellenabad, Nalwa, Loharu, Badhra, Dadri, Bawani Khera, Kosli, Faridabad NIT and Badhkal seats on Thursday.
As per the list, O.P. Gujjar will contest from Kalka, Wazir Singh Dhanda from Jind, Kamal Bisla from Fatehabad, Geeta Sheoran from Loharu, O.P. Verma from Badkhal and Himmat Yadav from Kosli, PTI reported.
The AAP has so far announced names of 70 candidates for the assembly polls. The Arvind Kejriwal-led party released its first list on Monday, after alliance talks with Congress hit a roadblock. The AAP had reportedly demanded 10 seats as part of the alliance while Congress was ready to spare only five-six seats.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was reportedly keen on forming the alliance with AAP for the assembly polls. Earlier, AAP’s Organisation Secretary Sandeep Pathak had said, "We are prepared to fight the elections with full force on all the seats and those who underestimate us will themselves regret it in the future.”
The Congress and AAP contested the Lok Sabha polls held earlier this year together in Delhi but separately in Punjab. AAP had contested unsuccessfully from one seat in Haryana during the polls as part of the alliance. The party contested in 46 seats during the 2019 assembly polls but failed to win even a single one.
