Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal has announced that his party would contest Haryana Assembly elections, scheduled later this year solo.

Kejriwal said his party would contest all the 90 Assembly Election constituencies in Haryana on its own individual strength. During a rally in Haryana, the Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal said AAP will contest in all 90 assembly seats in Haryana.

At present, AAP is in power in two states in the country, including Punjab and Delhi.

On the occasion, Kejriwal also said that the upcoming Lok Sabha elections will be contested in alliance with INDIA bloc parties.

He asked, “On both sides [of Haryana], there are AAP governments. So, why can't those in the centre go the same way?”

“The election is in October and it's in your hands. Ensure that an AAP government is elected in Haryana. I am confident that we will form the government,” he said.

Kejriwal’s remarks came amid reports that AAP is planning to shift focus to Haryana ahead of the assembly polls.

In the 2019 elections, the BJP emerged victorrious. The saffron party bagged 40 seats while the Congress won 31.
