Won’t forge any alliance with Congress in Punjab: AAP minister
Chandigarh (IANS). Punjab Tourism Minister Anmol Gagan Mann on Wednesday said that there will be no alliance of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) with Congress in the state.
He told the media, “AAP will not have any seat sharing with Congress.” That means his party will contest elections alone on all 13 parliamentary seats.
Without mincing words, he clarified, “This (India alliance) is a call from the party leadership at the national level. But we will not make any alliance with Congress in Punjab. Things may be different at the national level because all parties have come together to save the country from BJP.
The minister said, “AAP will not go with Congress at the state level. We will not tolerate any seat sharing with Congress in Punjab.
He made it clear that he would contest the election under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. The decision not to forge an alliance with the Congress has been taken by the state unit of AAP under the leadership of Mann.
The Tourism Minister said that a Tourism Summit and Travel Mart would be organized in Mohali from 11-13 September.
“Tour operators, investors from the hospitality sector and entertainment industry will participate in the summit,” he added.
