No point being in power after Jan Lokpal setback, says Prashant Bhushan

New Delhi: Holding BJP and Congress responsible for the fall of Arvind Kejriwal government, AAP leader Prashant Bhushan today said the party was left with no option but to quit as implementing Jan Lokpal was

After the CM's resignation, the ball is now back in the court of BJP and Congress and both parties can stake claim to form the government in the national capital, Bhushan said.

"If Congress and BJP don't want to stake claim to form the government, LG has no option but to dissolve the Assembly," he said.

Asked if AAP leaders are running away from their responsibilities, he said, "Our government also wanted to implement Mohalla Sabha in Delhi. As Congress and BJP leaders were also against this model, the party cannot run government.

"Getting official posts in the government was not the motive of our party. Our party's motive is to change the system, but we are not being allowed to implement our motive, there is then no benefit to run the government," he said.

Replying to his former ally Kiran Bedi's tweets - "Did Delhi CM resign for Lokpal or Loksabha?", Bhushan said she has become a BJP supporter.
