In a blow to the opposition's bid to forge a grand alliance, the Congress on Tuesday ruled out aligning with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the Lok Sabha elections. The move prompted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to allege a "secret Congress-BJP understanding".
The decision was taken at a meeting of the Delhi Congress unit led by its chief Sheila Dikshit and Congress President Rahul Gandhi at his residence here.
"Congress has unanimously taken a decision that there will be no alliance with AAP. The decision was taken in Rahul Gandhi's presence and it is final," Dikshit said after the meeting.
