New Delhi: AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal today said that he was personally against the formation of a coalition government but decided to go to people of Delhi for a referendum following a difference of opinion over the issue within the party.
Kejriwal said he would respect and follow the “people's verdict”, whether it was against or for the party.
He said there was a divided opinion over the issue and during the meeting of MLAs, a section was of the view that AAP should not shy away from forming the government as Congress was extending unconditional support.
According to some MLAs, the party could implement its agenda as there would be no interference by the Congress.
“I was personally against the forming of a government. Because we had maintained that we won't take support from or give to Congress or “BJP. But off late, a section of people started to say that we should form the government while another section was opposed to it, so we decided to go back to people to decide,” he said.
