The Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) would share a common platform on Monday to announce their economic policies, ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

This would coincide with the interim Budget which is also likely to be tabled in Parliament on the same day.

Commerce Minister Anand Sharma of the Congress, Member of Parliament of Rajya Sabha Piyush Goyal of the BJP, and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal will discuss the economic agendas of their parties with the national members of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) here.

Although Kejriwal's name was not mentioned in the agenda circulated to the media, sources said the party leader would attend the dialogue on Monday.

 
Sources added Kejriwal was initially supposed to announce AAP’s economic policies with the CII national council members. However, after he resigned as the chief minister of Delhi on Friday, he couldn’t confirm his plans. Kejriwal confirmed to the industry chamber on Sunday evening that he would be part of the interaction.
