Kejriwal Thanks Mamata Banerjee for Supporting AAP in Delhi Assembly Polls

Trinamool Congress (TMC) has officially announced its support for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal shared the news, expressing gratitude to TMC chief Mamata Banerjee. Taking to social media platform X, Kejriwal posted, "Thank you, Didi, for declaring support for the Aam Aadmi Party in the Delhi elections. I personally thank you for always standing by us in both good and tough times, and for your blessings."

The Delhi Assembly election schedule has already been released, with the official notification expected the day after tomorrow. Elections are slated to take place in the first week of next month. Interestingly, despite being part of the INDIA alliance, both Congress and AAP are contesting the Delhi elections separately and have been exchanging sharp criticisms. Although they united to challenge the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections, they are now fielding candidates independently.

Given the INDIA alliance's internal dynamics, the expression of support by member parties has gained significant attention. Apart from TMC, other INDIA alliance members such as the Samajwadi Party and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) have also extended their support to AAP.

Delhi has 70 assembly constituencies, and AAP has been in power since 2015. With support from key regional players, AAP appears to be garnering crucial backing ahead of the polls.
