Ball is now on your court: Ahmed Patel tells AAP on alliance issue
New Delhi, Apr 16 (IBNS): Congress leader Ahmed Patel on Tuesday said the 'ball' is now in the court of Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party to decide whether they will form an alliance with his party for the Lok Sabha polls in Delhi.
"We wish to set the record straight Despite opposition from our state unit, CP convinced them to work out a formula to collaborate with AAP in Delhi
But they insisted for seats in Haryana Our proposition still stands, the ball is in their court," Patel tweeted.
Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday said his party is still 'open' to form an alliance with Aam Aadmi party to fight the Lok Sabha polls.
Gandhi said the alliance between the two parties will ensure 'rout of the BJP' from the national capital.
"An alliance between the Congress & AAP in Delhi would mean the rout of the BJP. The Congress is willing to give up 4 Delhi seats to the AAP to ensure this. But, Mr Kejriwal has done yet another U turn! Our doors are still open, but the clock is running out," Gandhi tweeted.
The first phase of voting for the Lok Sabha polls was held on Apr 11.
Six more phases are left.
Counting of votes will take place on May 23.
