Arvind Kejriwal, while addressing a massive gathering of party supporters at Jantar Mantar, said, “When we got the required funds from people ahead of the Assembly elections, we had asked people not to donate further. Now we have to prepare for fresh Delhi Assembly as well as the General Elections in 2014. This is not our fight but your fight and we can not continue this fight without your support.”
Kejriwal also said, “Earlier when we put donor’s names on the AAP website they objected to it saying that they might have to face the witch hunt of the rival parties. Now that the people of Delhi have posed faith in us, they are calling back saying that they have no fear from anybody now.”
He clarify that his party will not be pressured into trying to form government in Delhi and lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the single largest party in the new Assembly, for not doing so.

But due to high fever, Arvind Kejriwal is unable to go to Ralegan Siddhi.

AAP also hinted that they might pitch Kumar Vishwas against the vice-president of Congress Rahul Gandhi. Kejriwal also demand for the support from their voters.
Kejriwal said, “We have a long battle to fight. The country has been doomed due to corruption by leading national parties. We need to clean the system at every level. You have supported us in the Delhi elections but now we need your support for the next big step.”
Manish Sisodia said, “If Kumar Vishwas stands for the Lok Sabha elections against the Yuvraj (Rahul), he will win it with so much support.”
