Kejriwal Announces AAP Will Contest Bihar Polls, Rules Out Alliance With Congress

“The INDIA bloc was only for the Lok Sabha polls. Now there is no alliance from our side,” Kejriwal said at a press conference in Ahmedabad.

“We have no alliance with Congress. If there was any alliance, why did they contest the bypoll in Visavadar?” Kejriwal asked. “They came to defeat us. The BJP had sent the Congress to defeat AAP by cutting our votes,” he was quoted as saying by PTI.

In the Visavadar bypoll held last month, AAP candidate Gopal Italia won the seat in Junagadh district by over 17,000 votes, defeating BJP’s Kirit Patel. Congress’s Nitin Ranpariya finished third with 5,501 votes.
