At this time, the Congress is supporting the idea of fielding Kumar, the report said. However, a final call will be taken during a meeting of the party’s Central Election Committee, scheduled on April 13. The meeting will also discuss candidates in Haryana, Punjab and some other states for Lok Sabha Elections 2024.
According to the seat-sharing deal with the AAP, Congress is contesting the North West, North East and Chandni Chowk seats in the national capital. AAP is contesting the East, South, West and New Delhi Lok Sabha seats.
