Cong rules out support AAP to form govt in Delhi

May 20, 2014 19:09

On a day when AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal met Lt Governor Najeeb Jung fuelling speculation about government-formation, Delhi Congress today ruled out extending support to the party if it tries to return to power.

DPCC chief Arvinder Singh Lovely said that under no circumstances Congress would extend support to AAP to form government and the party would prefer fresh assembly elections to backing Kejriwal who "betrayed" the people of Delhi by quitting power in February.

"It is Congress' decision that under no circumstances we will we extend support to AAP. There is no question of supporting AAP again," Lovely told a press conference.

Accusing Kejriwal of helping BJP in Lok Sabha polls, he said the result of the parliamentary election has proved that AAP was a 'B' team of the saffron party.
