Singh also proposed to prepare a CMP for the INDIA bloc ahead of the general election, the sources added.
Meanwhile, Singh wrote in a post on X, “Met Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge ji at his residence.”
“There was a detailed discussion on the misuse of investigative agencies, inhumane treatment of Arvind Kejriwal in jail, and the looming crisis for democracy and the Constitution of the country,” he said.
The AAP MP also informed that he proposed Kharge to issue a joint manifesto of the INDIA bloc.
It may be mentioned here that the AAP and the Congress have announced seat-sharing in several states in view of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
As per the agreement, of the seven parliamentary seats in Delhi, the AAP would contest four seats and the Congress three.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, both the parties drew a blank.
