Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday acknowledged that the agreement on seat-sharing arrangements in Delhi between the AAP and the Congress for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections should have been finalised earlier.
Kejriwal's statement coincides with the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing seat-sharing discussions between AAP and Congress in Delhi ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Tensions have risen among the parties of the INDIA bloc after AAP proposed offering Congress only one of the
seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi.
"Let's wait and see what unfolds in the next two to three days. The process has been delayed, and it would have been preferable to conclude it earlier," said Kejriwal when questioned about the seat allocation arrangement in Delhi with the Congress.
It is pertinent to mention that the Opposition's bloc, consisting of over 25 parties, have stumbled to the seat-sharing issue with several parties expressing their grievance regarding the delay in formulating a strategy to take on the BJP.
