No Possibility Of Alliance With Cong For Delhi Polls: Kejriwal

New Delhi: AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday once again ruled out the possibility of an alliance with the Congress for the Delhi Assembly polls, amid reports that the two parties could join hands for the election in the capital.

In a post on X, Kejriwal said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will contest the election on its own strength in Delhi. "There is no possibility of any alliance with the Congress," the former Delhi chief minister said. His remarks came amid media reports that the two parties are likely to have a tie-up for the polls to the 70-member Delhi Assembly due in February.

Earlier this month also, Kejriwal had ruled out the possibility of an alliance between his party and the Congress for the Delhi election. The recent buzz over an alliance between the two Indian Na-tional Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) partners was fuelled by the cancellation of the Congress's "Nyay Chaupal" event scheduled for Wednesday.

Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi was supposed to participate in the event to mark the culmi-nation of the "Nyay Yatra" taken out by the party ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls. Kejriwal met Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Tuesday amid a rising demand in the INDIA bloc to appoint West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee as the head of the alliance.
