Delhi Congress Chief Spokesperson Mukesh Sharma said Congress will not support AAP at “any cost” to form the government again.
In sort of an U-turn, Kejriwal had yesterday asked Lt Governor Najeeb not to dissolve the assembly anytime soon, saying it will hold public meetings across the city to know whether the party should form the government again.
While quitting, the AAP government on February 14 had recommended immediate dissolution of the assembly to pave way for fresh elections. However, the Lt Governor did not dissolve the assembly and kept in under suspended animation following which AAP had even filed a petition in the Supreme Court against Jung's decision.
Senior BJP leader Harsh Vardhan, who was party's Chief Ministerial candidate, called AAP's move to form government again in Delhi with Congress support as totally “unethical and unacceptable”.
“If Kejriwal tries to form a government with Congress, it's a grave sin. They drew total blank in Lok Sabha polls. I think this was a referendum but they think their referendum is talking to their own people,” he said.
Both BJP and Congress have already said they were ready for fresh election in Delhi.
After the arrest of Kejriwal, AAP supporters held a protest outside Tihar jail and were later removed by the Delhi Police.
