Talking about AAP-Congress alliance, Rai said all the doors of an alliance with the Congress party were shut now. He accused Congress of breaking down coalition talks and strengthening the BJP by weakening the opposition.
“There are no hopes left for an alliance with Congress. We tried our best, but they kept on behaving in a manner which will help the BJP. By dividing votes of the opposition, like in Uttar Pradesh and other states, they want to benefit BJP. Despite our best intentions, Congress has gone back to its old ways and seeking to snatch some votes from us in Delhi,” said Rai.
Haryana will go to poll for all 10 seats on May 12 in the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections. The counting of votes will begin on May 23.
