"Several MLAs from Congress are in touch with us. But we do not want to take their junk. I assure you that if we start taking their junk, we will have 25 MLAs and two-three MPs from Congress by today evening," Kejriwal said while addressing a presser ahead of Punjab Assembly elections scheduled to take place in early 2022.
