'Prepared to fight the Haryana Assembly polls with full force', says Aam Aadmi Party national secretary (organisation) Sandeep Pathak said during a press conference on Saturday. He then added that those who 'underestimate' AAP will regret it later.
"We are fully prepared and waiting for the party's order. As soon as we get the 'go' word, we will announce everything. We are prepared to fight the elections with full force on all the seats and those who underestimate us will themselves regret it in the future," Pathak said.
Alliance talks between AAP and Congress have hit an impasse over seat sharing. AAP has demanded 10 seats while the Congress is offering five to seven, insiders have said.
Earlier in the day, AAP chief national spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said talks were underway and expressed hope that there would be "some conclusion".
"Talks are ongoing, so it's too early to comment," she said when asked about the number of seats AAP would contest if it struck an alliance with the Congress.
The polls in the state are scheduled for October 5.
AAP's campaign:
AAP has been on a continuous campaign in Haryana. Sunita Kejriwal, wife of party chief Arvind Kejriwal, is scheduled to hold public meetings in the state on Saturday.
"We are ready to contest on all 90 seats," Kakkar said.
AAP sources on Friday claimed that the talks over an alliance were on the verge of "collapse".
They had also claimed that the party was planning to contest 50 seats and might announce its first list of candidates on Sunday. INDIA bloc constituents AAP and the Congress contested the Lok Sabha polls in an alliance in Haryana, Gujarat, and Delhi.
In Haryana, AAP contested the Kurukshetra seat, where its state unit chief Sushil Gupta lost to the BJP's Navin Jindal.
