New Delhi: Sheila Dikshit, Delhi Congress chief and former chief minister, said there will be no alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party for the upcoming Lok Sabha election. She said this after a meeting of Congress leaders, on Tuesday, which included party president Rahul Gandhi.

Dikshit, after the meeting, said, “A unanimous decision has been taken that there will be no alliance in Delhi.”

Earlier, when AAP announced its candidates for the six Lok Sabha seats in Delhi, on Saturday, it had accused the Congress of turning down its proposal for a tie-up, while hinting at the same time that a window was still open for forging an alliance as the party believed that there should be single opposition candidate against the BJP in every seat for the upcoming general election.
