Another AAP leader, Sanjay Singh, said the party will fight the Haryana polls with full strength.Earlier in the day, Gupta had said the AAP would release the names of its candidates from all 90 seats if the Congress failed to seal the deal by the evening.The talks between the two parties were stuck up over the number of seats to be contested by the AAP.According to sources, the Arvind Kejriwal-led party was demanding 10 seats, while the Congress had offered it only five.According to the list of candidates shared by the AAP, its Haryana unit senior vice-president Anurag Dhanda will contest the election from Kalayat, considered to be a stronghold of former chief minister and veteran Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda, and Indu Sharma from Bhiwani.Vikas Nehra has been fielded from Meham, while Bijender Hooda is in the poll fray from Rohtak.The failures of the AAP and the Congress to agree on a seat-sharing arrangement in Haryana also puts a question mark on the possibility of a tie-up between the two parties in Delhi, which is scheduled to go to polls early next year.The AAP has fielded Kuldeep Gadrana from Dabwali, a bastion of the Chautala clan.Other party contestants include Kuldeep Chikara from Bahadurgarh, Randir Guliya from Badli, Sonu Ahlawat Sheria from Beri, Ravinder Faujdar from Ballabhgarh, Dharmender Khatana from Sohna and Bir Singh Sarpanch from Badshahpur.
