The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday announced it will launch from December 14 a door-to-door campaign to defeat the saffron party here in the Lok Sabha elections 2019.
To discuss emerging political scenario and preparations for the Lok Sabha elections, AAP leaders huddled at party convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence on Tuesday evening. The AAP, however, ducked questions on the possibility of an alliance with the Congress.
"We will start campaigning on all the seven Lok Sabha constituencies in Delhi from December 14. In view of these results, I believe that people will support the AAP and we will defeat the BJP," senior party leader Gopal Rai said when asked about an alliance with the Congress.

"The AAP believes the process of BJP's defeat has begun and people want relief from its autocracy," Rai said.
"The AAP will accomplish this task in Delhi by defeating the BJP in Lok Sabha elections next year," he said.
However, AAP's own performance in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhatisgarh was lackluster as it could gather votes fewer than 'none of the above' (NOTA) votes.
The Lok Sabha elections 2019 is scheduled to take place in the months of April-May next year. After the impressive performance in the assembly elections, the moral of the Congress party is high.
