New Delhi: An alliance between the AAP and the Congress in Delhi and in other states, including Gujarat and Haryana, for the Lok Sabha polls may be officially announced on Saturday, sources in the AAP said.

The Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are constituents of the I.N.D.I.A. bloc, formed by opposition parties to take on the BJP in the upcoming general elections.

The announcement of alliance and seat-sharing arrangements for Delhi, Gujarat, Goa, Chandigarh and Haryana could be made at a joint press conference at 11.30 am, the sources said.

In Delhi, the AAP will contest four of the seven Lok Sabha seats -- West Delhi, South Delhi, New Delhi and East Delhi -- and the Congress will get Chandani Chowk, North East Delhi and North West Delhi, they said.

AAP has already announced its candidates for two seats in Gujarat and the South Goa constituency. Moreover, it is likely to secure one seat in Haryana, with the choice between Faridabad and Gurugram, the sources added.
