The AAP's first list of 20 candidates for the Haryana polls was released on Monday as its seat-sharing talks with the Congress broke down.

The Arvind Kejriwal -led party has so far declared 61 candidates for the polls.

The last date for filing nominations is September 12. The 90-member Haryana Assembly is scheduled to go to polls on October 5.

The Congress and the AAP contested the Lok Sabha polls together in Delhi while they fought the election separately in Punjab .

The Congress had given one seat to the AAP in the general election in Haryana , which it had contested unsuccessfully.

In the 2019 Haryana polls, the AAP had contested 46 seats but failed to win a single seat. 

The announcement marks AAP's strategic push into Haryana politics, with its leadership focusing on expanding the party's influence in the state.

Dalal vs Phogat in Julana

Kavita Dalal, a noted social worker, faces Vinesh Phogat , an Olympic wrestler and a well-known name in Haryana . The Julana constituency is set for a high-profile battle between these two influential women. AAP's decision to field Dalal indicates its aim to challenge Congress ' stronghold in the region.

With elections drawing near, AAP's focus remains on providing an alternative to traditional political players like Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ). The party’s leadership expressed confidence in their candidate's ability to deliver change.

Further details on the remaining seats and AAP’s manifesto are expected in the coming days.
