So, did Arvind Kejriwal meet fomer Union Ministers Ghulam Nabi Azad and Jairam Ramesh in April 2014 to seek the support of the Congress?

Titbits of information are being leaked by senior Congress leaders in the Central Hall of Parliament of the AAP cozying up with the Congress last year.

And did Kejriwal drive to Ramesh's bungalow in Lodhi Garden to get a meeting with Rahul Gandhi?

Kejriwal is believed to have told Azad that the the best way to keep the BJP away is to revive the alliance between Congress and AAP. Kejriwal said he would give the deputy chief minister's portfolio to the Congress, but Rahul declined the offer.

Rahul's decision came after Sheila Dikshit, who was then the governor of Kerala, called up Sonia and Rahul asking them not to entertain Kejriwal.
