Congress leader Rahul Gandhi resumed his ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ from Gujarat’s Dahod on Friday. Rahul Gandhi’s 6,700-km ‘Manipur to Mumbai’ Yatra will pass through seven districts of Gujarat having sizable tribal population.
Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal, along with his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann, will launch the Lok Sabha poll campaign of the party in Delhi on Friday. The two will launch the campaign in presence of other leaders and workers of AAP from the party headquarters on DDU Marg at noon, a party member said.
The AAP will fight the general election in collaboration with opposition bloc ‘INDIA’ partner Congress under a seat-sharing arrangement it has struck with it in Delhi, Gujarat, and Haryana.
In Punjab, however, both parties have decided to contest the Lok Sabha polls independently.
The AAP will contest four of the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi and Congress will field its candidates on the remaining three.
The party has got two constituencies in Gujarat – Bharuch, Jamnagar – and Kurukshetra in Haryana under the seat-sharing deal with Congress.
Separately, AAP has also declared its candidates from Guwahati, Dibrugarh and Sonitpur Lok Sabha constituencies in Assam.
