'Depends on the results': Cong's PC Chacko on possibility of alliance with AAP

February 09, 2020 12:36

After exit polls predicted a dismal performance by the Congress in the Delhi assembly elections, the grand old partys in-charge of the national capital, PC Chacko on Sunday looked at its prospects after the votes are counted.

All the five exit polls on Saturday said the AAP is all set to retain power in Delhi with a second consecutive victory. They projected the AAPs win by a two-thirds majority with the party getting anything between 47 seats to 68 seats in the assembly of 70 members.

PC Chacko dismissed the exit polls, which estimated the Congress would come a distant third, and spoke about the possibility of an alliance with Arvind Kejriwals Aam Aadmi Party.

It depends on the results. Once results are out then only we can discuss it, PC Chacko said when he was asked about the possibility of an alliance between the Congress and AAP.

I think the surveys are not correct. Congress is likely to do better than what surveys predict, he also said.

The five exit polls projected AAPs win by a two-thirds majority and most said the Bharatiya Janata Party will be able to improve with baggings more seats that from the last assembly elections in 2015, when it won just three.
