The Congress and AAP had fought the Lok Sabha polls together in Delhi, while they contested separately in Punjab.Ramesh said, “In the context of West Bengal also, I had said that the INDIA bloc is for Lok Sabha polls but in states where the circumstances are such that our leaders of the state and leaders of our alliance partners want, the alliance will remain. In Maharashtra, the alliance will be there with Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SCP). In Jharkhand, we have an alliance with the Jharkhand Mukti Morch.”Where state Congress leaders and the respective alliance parties agree, there will be an alliance, he said, adding there is no one formula on which the alliance will be done for assembly polls.Asked specifically as to whether there would be an alliance in Haryana and Delhi, Ramesh said, “There does not appear to be much scope (for alliance) in Delhi and Haryana.” Jharkhand, Haryana and Maharashtra are slated to go for polls later this year, while assembly elections in Delhi will be held early next year.
