Emphasising the potential of the INDIA alliance, AAP has asserted confidence in securing the maximum seats in the impending general election, provided no further members withdraw from the coalition.

AAP has frequently accused the BJP of leveraging agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Income Tax Department for political mileage.
With Congress failing to secure any seats in the last two consecutive assembly or general elections, aligning with AAP appears strategic. In Delhi, Congress is expected to contest three to four seats.
In the previous negotiations, Congress was offered only two seats in Delhi, leading to their refusal to form an alliance with AAP. However, the current scenario sees both parties coming together. Their recent success in Chandigarh has solidified their partnership. As of now, the names of the candidates are yet to be disclosed.
