The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday asked the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to first set its house in order before advising other political parties, and said the BJP will act within the ambits of constitutionality as far as the political situation in Delhi is concerned.

"As far as the Aam Aadmi Party is concerned, they have lot of challenges in their own house. First they should be thinking how to rectify their own house because we are seeing that many leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party are not satisfied with the way of functioning of the Aam Aadmi Party. So, better than advising the other political parties, they should be looking into their own sleeves," BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra told ANI here.

"And as far as Delhi is concerned, we have always stated that whatever the Bharatiya Janata Party will do would be within the ambits of constitutionality," he added while reacting on AAP's challenge to the BJP to conduct fresh polls in Delhi.

The Aam Aadmi Party has reportedly challenged the BJP to conduct fresh polls in Delhi and prove whether the wave in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi fructifies in the national capital as well. The Aam Aadmi Party has stated that the verdict of assembly polls in Haryana and Maharashtra signifies that the people were looking for a change from the Congress-led governments in the state.
