Written By Unknown on Senin, 09 Desember 2013 | 23.08

Aam Aadmi Party, which made a spectacular debut in the Delhi Assembly elections by sweeping out the Congress from power and giving the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) a run for its money, on Monday said that the party was ready to contest Lok Sabha elections but is undecided when and how. AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal said the Delhi verdict had shown that even the mightiest of the leaders can be defeated if the common man rises and challenges them.

"We will fight Lok Sabha elections but we don't know when and how. Our fight is not going to end in Delhi, it will go to the whole country," said Kejriwal while arguing that India was ready for a new brand of politics where money and muscle power no longer played any role.

He said AAP was not in politics for name and fame but for the betterment of the country. "We are first class citizens subject to third class governance. People want an honest government and we have provided an alternative," he said on an exclusive interview to IBN Network18 Editor-in-Chief Rajdeep Sardesai.

He also assured that the AAP which won 28 seats in the 70-member Assembly will now to have to fulfill all the promises it made to the people. He said, "The responsibility put on our shoulders by people is very scary."

Refusing to get drawn into the numbers game, Kejriwal said AAP will not form the government in Delhi as he does not have the mandate. He also refused to tie-up either with the Congress or with the BJP saying both the parties are corrupt and same.

He added that the party was ready for a re-poll. "AAP is ready for a re-poll as elections don't cost much but corruption leads to a larger loss," he said. Kejriwal said AAP's victory is the start of a new kind of politics which is about clean candidates, untainted leaders and people's direct participation

On defeating three-time chief minister Sheila Dikshit by a margin of over 26,000 votes, Kejriwal said, "I did not defeat Sheila Dikshit in New Delhi constituency, the common man defeated her. The margin of win against Sheila Dikshit shows anger of the people."

He said AAP was expecting a majority in Delhi but will now sit in Opposition. He said, "Both BJP and Congress have lost elections in Delhi. Even BJP was unable to retain its vote share."

Claiming that Delhi results were a message to both Congress and BJP, he said, "Today's politicians have become power brokers. We need to build right kind of system in place. Message of Delhi poll results is that BJP, Congress should mend their ways."

On former IPS officer Kiran Bedi saying AAP and BJP should join hands to form government in Delhi, he said, "Does Kiran Bedi think that BJP is good? How can we take BJP or Congress support as they did not pass the Lokpal Bill? There will be a time when we will definitely form a government."

He also asked why the BJP is not forming a government in Delhi. "Why is BJP shying away from forming a government in Delhi. The party forced the BJP to change their leader in Delhi." He also assured that none of the AAP MLA will be poached.

Kejriwal refused to blames the political class as whole and said, "There are good people in BJP and Congress but these parties are run by mafia at the top."

On the question of Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, he said, "Modi is a media creation. When the common man rises, even the mighty falls."

He also asked all the honest politicians to come together. "All those who want honest politics in this country should come together. This will be a first front not a third front."

When asked about social activist Anna Hazare, he said, "I pray to Anna that he should bless us. Even if Anna blesses us from outside it will help us. Anna Hazare should support our initiative."
