No consensus on seat sharing between Congress and AAP

The seat-sharing talks between Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the two key partners of the opposition I.N.D.I.A. bloc, have hit a roadblock over Punjab, where both parties have a strong presence.

The two parties have held two rounds of discussions so far but have not reached any consensus on how to distribute the 13 Lok Sabha seats in the border state.

However, both parties seem to have agreed on a 4-3 seat formula in Delhi, but the clarity of which party will contest on three seats and which on four seats is still not clear. In 2019, the Congress was in second place with five seats out of seven, and settling for three seats this time would be a difficult task.
