On Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi's observations that he has learnt a lot from the way AAP had rallied the people for good governance, the LJP leader said he was entitled to his views, but there was nothing to learn from the new political outfit.

A number of leaders and outfits like Prafulla Kumar Mahanta-led AGP government in Assam and the Janata Party government at the Centre in 1970s had disintegrated after meteoric rise to power on anti-corruption agenda, he said, adding that Kejriwal was not a bigger leader than JP who had catalysed the anti-Congress forces on the corruption issue.  

Paswan said he wished AAP would have got 36 seats in the recently-concluded Delhi assembly polls and not 28 that it managed to get so that everybody could have seen how it ran the government.

On the political situation emerging in Bihar after the impending release of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad from Ranchi jail on being granted bail by the Supreme Court, the LJP leader said the development will not only boost RJD workers' morale, but give a renewed hope to the RJD-LJP alliance in Bihar.  

Paswan expressed optimism that Congress will join the RJD-LJP alliance going by the positive vibes of the its leadership, but no final decision has been taken.
