CHANDIGARH: Amid growing speculations of a rift in the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alliance in Chandigarh, senior leaders from both parties have initiated official meetings to strategise for the upcoming mayoral elections.

Chandigarh Congress president HS Lucky confirmed the development, stating, "The talks have started and are moving in a positive direction. However, we have yet to finalise any candidate. A meeting of alliance councillors and leaders will be held soon to discuss and finalise our approach."

Notably, till January 4, no formal meeting had taken place between the Congress and the AAP leaders, leading to resentment in the Congress camp.
