When the AAP fought its first Lok Sabha elections in 2014, Delhi saw its most multipolar Lok Sabha contest since 1991.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress – the three main parties in Delhi – have so far fought elections without any pre-election understanding with each other.

Will the AAP and the Congress forming a pre-poll alliance change this equation in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections? Here are four charts that try to answer this question.
