Aap-congress Ties

Union Home Minister Amit Shah slammed the AAP-Congress alliance in Delhi for the Lok Sabha polls, asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will return to power with 400 plus seats.

The Congress and the AAP - who this week delivered the INDIA bloc's first electoral win, in the Chandigarh mayoral poll - have finalised seat-share deals for Lok Sabha polls in Delhi, Gujarat, Goa, and Haryana, sources told NDTV Friday afternoon.

The AAP and the Congress have agreed seat-sharing deals for Delhi, Gujarat, Goa, Chandigarh, and Haryana ahead of the Lok Sabha election, sources said, in signs the struggling INDIA bloc - formed last year to defeat the ruling BJP.

The Aam Aadmi Party's Punjab unit is unwilling to ally with the Congress - which it routed in last year's Assembly poll - to contest next year's general election, sources told NDTV this afternoon.

As Congress leaders welcomed AAP leader Raghav Chadha to the Opposition meet in Bengaluru, there were warm hugs and big smiles all around, which signalled that all is well. At least, for now

At 5.30 pm, television channels began broadcasting exit polls for the five states that have voted. The picture for Uttar Pradesh is clear - the BJP wins the state, based on an aggregate of the polls - whereas in Punjab, it's a very close call with one poll forecasting a perfect tie for the Congress and Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party.
