Meanwhile, the AAP in January ended months of speculation and ruled out the possibility of any alliance with the Congress for upcoming general elections. The party said that it will field candidates on all parliamentary constituencies in Delhi. The announcement came a few days after AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal reiterated that a vote for Congress in the upcoming general elections will mean victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
