AAP leader and Delhi minister Saurabh Bhardwaj announced at the same press conference that talks on seat-sharing had begun in Assam and that a decision would be made shortly.
Digital Desk: In the approaching Lok Sabha elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) hopes to be able to contest for three seats in Assam. In other states, the party vowed to support the Opposition INDIA group as well.
On February 8, AAP released a list of its candidates for three Assam seats.
AAP spokesman Sandeep Pathak said today that the party has named Manoj Dhanowar as its candidate for the Dibrugarh Lok Sabha seat, Baben Choudhary for the Guwahati Lok Sabha seat, and Rishiraj for the Sonitpur Lok Sabha seat.
Sandeep Pathak declared that the AAP will start running for the three Lok Sabha seats and that the party hoped the INDIA bloc would agree and give the party these seats.
"We are warriors, and our goal is to win these elections, not just to compete in them. To win the elections is the goal of forging an alliance. Thus, everything ought to be completed on schedule and in concert," he stated.

A committee to coordinate Assamese electoral campaigning will be formed by the AAP and Congress. The committee will be tasked with determining whose leaders from both parties will run for the coalition seats and completing the plan of attack for those campaigns.
AAP and Congress had earlier in the day announced plans to share seats in Delhi, Haryana, Gujarat, Chandigarh, and Goa.
Three seats in Delhi will be contested by the AAP (New Delhi, West Delhi, South Delhi, and East Delhi), while the Congress will run in the remaining three seats (Chanderni Chowk, North East, and North West Delhi).
In Gujarat, the Congress party plans to run for 24 seats, and the AAP is preparing to try its luck in the western state's Bharuch and Bhavnagar constituencies.
In the meantime, the Congress will independently field candidates for the two Goa Lok Sabha seats as well as Chandigarh.
A deal about seat sharing for Punjab has not been announced. Prior to this, the ruling AAP had made it clear that it intended to run separately in each of the state's 13 Lok Sabha seats.
