AAP is a key constituent of newly formed I.N.D.I.A - the opposition alliance which is determined to take on Narendra Modi and the BJP in next year's Lok Sabha polls. However, in several states, the 'political space' being left vacuum by Congress is being filled in by the AAP. And thus AAP and Congress often find themselves fighting each other more than fighting the common enemy BJP. 

The Kejriwal-led outfit, which has emerged as a player post Anna Hazare movement against corruption, has grown in Gujarat at the cost of Congress and has in fact captured power in Punjab after pushing Congress into the margins.
