Speculations around coalition between the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party were making rounds in Delhi. However, the Congress later said that it would not be joining the AAP here.
AAP supremo and Delhi chief minister termed the Congress as ‘arrogant’ and claimed that its candidates would lose their deposits in the polls.
At a public meeting in the Mustafabad area, Kejriwal had claimed his party tried persuading the Congress to forge an alliance, but "it did not understand".
Delhi Congress chief Sheila Dikshit had said there's unanimity in the party against an alliance with the AAP for Lok Sabha polls in Delhi. "Congress (candidates) will lose their deposits in Delhi in Lok Sabha elections," Kejriwal claimed.
As per new rules introduced by the Election Commission, candidates will have to give details of their properties abroad, besides those in the country in their poll affidavits.
