Kejriwal sets conditions for BJP and Congress before taking their support

Attacking the BJP, he said their intentions were evident the moment they refused to form the government and stated they were not interested in manipulative politics and horse trading when they had allegedly done so in other states.

The AAP leader said his party's stand was clear from day one that it would not take or give support to the Congress or the BJP.

AAP was formed by the common people due to alleged corrupt and criminal politics of both the parties, and it was now not possible to join hands with these parties, he said.

"But their moves have surprised us. We had even prepared a letter for the LG (expressing our inability to form the government). To understand their stand, I had written letters to Congress President Sonia Gandhi and BJP Chief Rajnath Singh seeking their parties' stand on 18 issues," Kejriwal said.

"I have asked them to provide categorical answers on the issues," he said.

During the last 15 years of Congress regime, problems of people have increased manifold. Similarly, BJP-ruled municipal corporation was allegedly involved in loot and mis-governance and common people were fed up with the corruption, he charged.

In his letter, Kejriwal sought the views of Congress and BJP on the issue of ending VIP culture in the national capital. No minister, MLA or officer would use a red-beacon fitted vehicle, demand no security for themselves and not reside in big bungalows.

Among the other demands are ending the MLA or corporator fund scheme and allotment of the same money through Mohalla Sabha for development of local areas besides giving power to people to decide on expenditure.
AAP also sought their views on the passage of Jan Lokpal Bill in Delhi and asked would they still support his government if their leaders were found involved in corruption.

Kejriwal asked whether Congress and BJP would support AAP on giving more decision power to Mohalla Sabhas, giving full statehood to Delhi and audit of accounts of electricity companies.
