Asked if he thought the party will be able retain all the seven seats at a time when the BJP is being seen as the favourite and the AAP could repeat its assembly success, Lovely said stoutly: "It is too premature to say, but (AAP leader) Arvind Kejriwal and Narendra Modi (the BJP's prime ministerial candidate) are more of a media creation."
Lovely, who has held several portfolios in the three governments of former chief minister Sheila Dikshit, said that the AAP government - propped up by the Congress party from outside - "blew up the opportunity and ran away from its responsibility".
"Has the AAP government performed better, and how is the BJP doing in the corporations? They will not do anything different if they come to power at the centre," Lovely maintained.
