Congress: We are willing to support AAP unconditionally
December 10, 2013  17:54
Congress appeared to be extending an olive branch to AAP to form a government in Delhi as Arvind Kejriwal ruled out giving any support to BJP for the purpose.

"A number of senior leaders of Delhi are of the opinion that we should give unconditional support to AAP to form a government. They believe that we should extend outside support to it. But, we are talking to MLAs from the state. Their opinion is very important. Once we take their opinion, we will apprise the party high command about it," AICC general secretary in charge for Delhi, Shakeel Ahmed told PTI.

His remarks came shortly after Kejriwal ruled out support to BJP and termed as "personal opinion" the remarks of party leader Prashant Bhushan, who told a TV channel last night that AAP may consider supporting BJP if the party gives AAP in writing that it will pass the Jan Lokpal Bill.

The noted lawyer clarified on Tuesday that what he had said last night was in a rhetorical context. Bhushan said the party will not stake claim to form government and prefer to sit in the opposition.
