A few weeks before, AAP refused to form an alliance with the Congress-led INDIA Bloc in the state for the upcoming Lok Sabha election. According to Congress sources, the party found out about his talks with the AAP two days ago and approached him. "He made up his mind. We tried to persuade him, but he couldn't be stopped," a leader told Indian Express.
