Arvind Kejriwal may fight LokSabha election
"No formal decision has been taken by the election committee on whether any (AAP) MLA would not contest Lok Sabha elections," Yogendra Yadav said.
"The party has also not taken any decision that Arvind Kejriwal will not contest elections," he said, indicating that the Delhi chief minister may be in the race for Prime Minister's post if the party is in a position to form the government.
Kejriwal had earlier said that he would not contest in Lok Sabha election and no AAP MLA would be allowed to fight the polls.
When asked by reporters over Kejriwal's statements, Yadav said, "He said this on basis that if MLAs are interested in contesting the Lok Sabha polls then how are we going to run the government. Anyway, we just have 28 MLAs."
Will build a house in Amethi: Vishwas
Meanwhile, taking a swipe at Rahul Gandhi, AAP leader Kumar Vishwas on Thursday said he would build a house in Amethi and live with the people, unlike "yuvraj" (prince) who stays in "rajmahal" (palace).
Stating that he would not leave Amethi, Vishwas, who is likely to contest the Lok Sabha polls in an Aam Aadmi Party ticket from here, said, "I am a servant and not Yuvraj. I will build a house here to stay."
"He (Rahul) claims that the people of Amethi are his family ... But he stays in rajmahal and travel by air while the people here do not have roof over their head ... Which type of family relation is this?" he said.
Mounting attack on the Congress vice-president, Vishwas said, "Rahul used to tell tales of development in Amethi but it is not seen anywhere here ... He used to lure people by only assurances but now people have started understanding the reality. Now he is resorting to a lot of gimmicks."
Trying to corner Rahul over the issue of corruption, the AAP leader said he used to talk about corruption but forgot that maximum number of corruption cases came to the fore in the government "patronized" by him.
