There is no possibility of any alliance with the Congress in Punjab and the Aam Aadmi Party is presently working on a three-state equation in Delhi, Haryana and Chandigarh, AAP sources said.
A meeting of the party's Punjab unit was Tuesday held at the residence of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and the three names of candidates who would contest from Punjab were decided.
"The names for Bathinda, Khadoor Sahib and Ludhiana would be announced in the next one or two days," the sources said.
They said that there is no possibility of any alliance with the Congress in the state and the party is internally working on a possible three-state equation of alliance with the grand old party in Delhi, Haryana and Chandigarh.
Sisodia held the meeting at his residence with AAP Punjab chief Bhagwant Mann and Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha Harpal Singh Cheema.
The party has till now declared the names of candidates for 10 of the 13 seats.
