The party released the second list of 9 candidates earlier today fielding former minister Chhatar Pal Singh from Barwala a day after he switched over from the BJP.
Arvind Kejriwal’s party’s first list of 20 candidates was released on Monday after seat-sharing talks with the Congress dragged on for days without much headway. The party has named Rita Bamaniya from Sadhaura, Kishan Bajaj from Thanesar, Hawa Singh from Indri.
The party has fielded Mukhtiyar Singh Bazigar from Ratia, Bhupendra Beniwal from Adampur, and Chhatar Pal Singh from Barwala.
The AAP has so far released three lists with 40 candidates in total after the party decided to go solo in the polls. The nomination window for the polls closes on September 12.
The 90-member Haryana Assembly is scheduled to go to polls on October 5.
On the issue of an alliance with the Congress, AAP’s Haryana president Sushil Gupta on Monday said, I want to say it very clearly that we have been preparing for all the 90 seats since day one.
The talks between the two parties were stuck up over the number of seats to be contested by the AAP. As per PTI sources, the Arvind Kejriwal-led party was demanding 10 seats, while the Congress had offered it only five.
