Day after Haryana results, the Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday announced that it would contest the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections independently. 

AAP's National Spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said that Arvind Kejriwal's party will contest the election in the national capital based on the Delhi government's performance in the last ten years. 

"We will contest Delhi (assembly) elections alone. On one side it's the overconfident Congress and on the other side, it's the arrogant BJP. We will contest the election based on what we have done in Delhi in the last 10 years," Kakkar told ANI on Wednesday.

The announcement comes after AAP, which is part of the INDIA bloc at the central level, went solo in Haryana after the seat-sharing talks with the Congress failed. 

Earlier in July, Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav announced that the party will contest the upcoming assembly elections independently, as their alliance with the AAP was limited to the Lok Sabha polls. 

"After the Congress' vote share went up substantially in the recent Lok Sabha elections, there is renewed enthusiasm among the workers and general public that the party will perform better in the upcoming Delhi Assembly polls as people now look for change," Yadav said, according to news agency PTI.
