AAP to Contest all 90 Assembly Seats in Haryana
Jul-18-2024

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) announced that it will contest alone on all 90 seats in the upcoming state elections in Haryana. In a press conference held today in Chandigarh, senior AAP leaders including Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Maan and Rajya Sabha MPs Sanjay Singh and Sandeep Pathak made the announcement.

Addressing the media, Bhagwant Mann said that the people of Haryana want their ‘son Kejriwal’ to have a government in the state, adding that Kejriwal belongs to Haryana. He said that Haryana's culture is quite similar to Punjab and Delhi, which are ruled by the AAP, and also shares borders with them, making it easier for the AAP to make inroads. Mann also released the party’s slogan for the polls: ‘Badlenge Haryana ka haal, ab lainge Kejriwal’ (we will change Haryana’s situation and will bring Kejriwal). 

MP Sanjay Singh attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s 'double engine' government, as the BJP is in power in the state and the centre for 10 years, for making Haryana an 'extortion state'. Singh said that people have expectations from AAP as the party has proved thrice in Delhi and in two years in Punjab. He added that people will give a reply to all the parties who have looted the state in this election. Sandeep Pathak also said that the party will be fighting on all seats and all booths. He said the state has a lot of expectation from its ‘son Kerjiwal’. 

The term of the Haryana assembly will end in October. BJP and Congress are the main rival parties here. The AAP had contested the Assembly elections in Haryana in 2019 by fielding candidates for 46 seats but could win none.
