As deadlock over seat-sharing talks between AAP and Congress continues over the upcoming Haryana polls, Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday released its second list of nine candidates for the state assembly polls set for October 5.
Previously, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) released its first list of 20 candidates on Monday amid the deadlock over seat-sharing with the Congress in poll-bound Haryana. Earlier, the party had given an ultimatum to the Congress to either finalise the alliance by Monday evening or AAP would release its list. The party has fielded senior vice-president of AAP's state unit Anurag Dhandha from Kalayat, Pawan Fauji from Uchana Kala, Indu Sharma from Bhivani, and Bijendra Hooda from Rohtak.
In its second list, the AAP has announced the candidates for Indri, Sadhaura, Thanesar, Ratia, Adampur, Barwala, Tigaon, Faridabad and Bawal constituencies. Hawa Singh has been fielded from Indri and Pravesh Mehta from Faridabad.
On Monday, AAP Haryana chief Sushil Gupta said the party will release its second list. "We waited till an appropriate time (for the Congress). We will issue the second list today. The AAP will fight on 90 seats with full strength. We have only one aim to uproot the corrupt BJP government," Gupta told PTI Videos. Accusing the BJP of turning Haryana into a crime capital, he said, "Unemployment is highest in Haryana and people have made up their mind for change. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is Haryana's son".
The last date for filing nomination papers is September 12. The 90-member assembly is scheduled to go to polls on October 5.
