Amidst resistance from former Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dixit, the Congress and Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will form an alliance in the national Capital for the upcoming general elections in a bid to stop division of votes.

According to party sources in the grand old party, "Seats sharing between both the parties have been done." It is a matter of only time to make it formally announced," said a senior congress leader.

If party sources to be believed, several rounds of talks have been placed between top brass of the two parties.

Highly placed sources in the party high command said that in alliance, Congress will contest election for three pivotal seats which are - New Delhi, Chandni Chowk and North West Delhi.

However, for the rest four parliamentarians - North East Delhi, East Delhi, West Delhi and South Delhi, AAP will contest to take over Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). 

Party sources also said that an internal survey done by Congress is playing a crucial role in changing the minds of Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) leaders who have been against the alliance.

As per the survey reports, BJP is ahead of both AAP and Congress with 35 per cent of the vote share in the Capital.

The survey report has been showed to Congress party president Rahul Gandhi and the Delhi unit chief Sheila Dikshit.

Meanwhile, Delhi State in-charge PC Chacko met DPCC Chief Sheila Dikshit and conveyed her results of the vote bank survey and also shared views of the senior leaders of the party about alliance.
