AAP Alliance With Congress Not A 'Permanent Marriage', Aim Is To Defeat BJP: Arvind Kejriwal
Arvind Kejriwal also exhumed confidence of the opposition alliance winning the Lok Sabha polls saying a "big surprise" was awaiting on June 4.
Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal has said that his party's alliance with the Congress is not permanent and two parties have come together to defeat the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections.
Kejriwal also exhumed confidence of the opposition alliance winning the Lok Sabha polls saying a "big surprise" was awaiting on June 4.
"The AAP is not in a permanent marriage with Congress. Our aim is to defeat the BJP for now and end the dictatorship and goondagardi of the present regime," Kejriwal said in an interview to India Today.
Kejriwal said that the INDIA bloc would also win at least 300 of the 543 Lok Sabha seats.
Though AAP and Congress are fighting the polls in an alliance in seven seats of Delhi, the parties are contesting against each other in neighbouring Punjab.
"It is important to save the country. AAP and Congress came together wherever an alliance was needed to defeat the BJP and put up one candidate. The BJP does not have any existence in Punjab," the Delhi CM said.
Speaking on his arrest in the liquor policy case, Arvind Kejriwal said that there was no question of him resigning as the Delhi Chief Minister.
"My going back to jail is not an issue. This country’s future is at stake... Let them jail me for as long as they want, I will not be cowed down," he said.
"There is no question of resigning as Delhi Chief Minister only because the BJP wants me to," he added.
The AAP convener is out on an interim bail till June 1 following an order of the Supreme Court, which has directed him to surrender on June 2. He was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in March in a money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
