New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday again ruled out any possibility of an alliance with the Congress in Delhi polls, reports Dynamite News correspondent.
No possibility of Alliance
In a post on X, Kejriwal said, "Aam Aadmi Party will be fighting this election on its own strength in Delhi. There is no possibility of any alliance with Congress."
The statement comes after reports suggested that Congress and AAP were in the final stages of talks for a Delhi election alliance.
Deteriorating law and order situation
Earlier on December 7, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee President Devendra Yadav had criticised the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, for being responsible for the "deteriorating" law and order situation in the National Capital.

Yadav also demanded that Kejriwal should ask for the resignation of Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, the same way he asked for the resignation of former CM Shiela Dixit during the Nirbhaya case.
The Delhi Congress president further alleged that the women are facing the brunt of increasing crimes, including gang wars, firing, murder, rape, harassment and snatching incidents.

Two Assembly Polls
