Haryana AAP chief Sushil Gupta announced Monday that his party will contest all 90 seats in the upcoming state Assembly election on October 5, ruling out an alliance with Congress. AAP's first list of 20 candidates includes 11 from seats contested by Congress. Talks between the two parties failed over seat-sharing disagreements, with Congress unwilling to concede more than seven seats. Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda emphasized the Congress’s strength in the state, calling the election a contest between BJP and Congress. AAP remains confident despite its Lok Sabha struggles. Votes will be counted on October 8.
