As a constituent of the alliance, the AAP had seat-sharing agreements with the Congress in Delhi, Goa, Gujarat, and Haryana. The two parties, however, are contesting separately in Punjab, where the AAP is in power and the Congress is the principal opposition party. Punjab will vote on the last day of voting.

The 28-member Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) was formed in July last year to take on the BJP-led ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the Lok Sabha polls. The NDA is seeking a third consecutive term in office at the Centre, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi a hattrick of terms in the country's top post.
