In a joint press conference in New Delhi, Congress leader Mukul Wasnik along with AAP leaders Sandeep Pathak and Atishi said, "Delhi has seven Lok Sabha seats. Congress will field candidates on three seats--Chandni Chowk, North East Delhi and West Delhi and AAP will contest from the remaining four seats -- New Delhi, West Delhi, South Delhi and East Delhi."

In Gujarat, the Congress will contest from 24 seats while AAP will contest from Bharuch and Bhavnagar seats.
