After Mamata Banerjee, Bhagwant Mann announces AAP will contest Lok Sabha Polls alone in Punjab
Just an hour after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said her Trinamool Congress will contest the national polls in Bengal alone, Punjab Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday announced a similar stance, giving a jolt to the INDIA alliance.
Addressing the media, Mann said, “We have nothing to do with Congress in Punjab.”
"Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will win the elections on all 13 Lok Sabha seats in the state. Punjab will become a hero in the country," he said.
Mamata Banerjee to contest alone
In a jolt to INDIA, the alliance formed by more than 20 opposition parties, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said her Trinamool Congress (TMC) will fight out the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alone in the upcoming General Elections.
Speaking to the reporters, Mamata, who was visibly angry with Congress, said, "I had no talk with anyone. My proposal for seat-sharing was turned down by them on the first day. We have already decided to go solo in the elections in Bengal. We will decide about a national approach after the elections."
Mamata claims Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, who is presently undertaking Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, did not inform her about the rally which is set to pass through the state.

"I am a part of the INDIA alliance but I haven't been even informed that the rally is passing through our state," said the TMC supremo.
