He said the party's sub-committee, with AAP leaders Yogendra Yadav and Sanjay Singh, has been formed which would chart a road map for the 2014 general elections for the party.  Kejriwal, while stressing on the need to bring in more people with clean image in the party in other states, asked like-minded people to come in large numbers to strengthen the party, saying it was not possible to win general elections with the current strength.

“I would ask all like-minded people, good people, good politicians from other parties who are feeling choked in their party to revolt against them if they are against the policy of their party. If needed, they could join us,” he said.

The AAP Convener had said that Delhi had sown a hope.  “It is not our fight, AAP is a small party with a small number of people. It is not the fight of AAP but the fight of the common man.

“I appeal to all good people, good organisations and good political forces to unite as this is a historic moment to change the country...Join us, we will move out of the way and give preference to you. There are no ego issues, we all need to come together,” Kejriwal said.

He asked “good” people in political parties to revolt against their parties if they were not happy with the policies of their organisation and were feeling choked. “If you are not satisfied with them, then come to us,” he said.  On Congress leader Shaqeel Ahmed remarks on government formation, he said there was no question of taking the party's support.

To a question on Congress leader V Narayanasamy's comment that the government was sincere about passing the Lokpal Bill, he shot back, asking “which Lokpal Bill...the lame and handicapped one or the Janlokpal bill”.  “You can call any bill a Lokpal Bill,” he said.
