AAP Quits INDIA Alliance to Go Solo in Bihar Polls

Party leaders say the exit reflects a move away from temporary electoral ties to an independent brand; MPs will still coordinate opposition efforts in Parliament.

Overview

  • On July 20, AAP leaders confirmed the party’s formal departure from the INDIA Alliance after skipping the coalition’s July 19 meeting.
  • Sanjay Singh stated that the INDIA bloc was intended solely for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and detailed AAP’s solo runs in Haryana, Delhi, Gujarat and Punjab.
  • The party will field its own candidates in the upcoming Bihar Assembly polls without any seat-sharing arrangement.
  • AAP officials have blamed Congress vote-splitting and underwhelming 2024 Lok Sabha results for driving the strategic shift to independent state contests.
  • Despite the exit, party MPs pledge to support and raise key opposition issues—such as urban governance and electoral roll revisions—in the monsoon Parliament session.
