Commenting on the Congress's decision to hold a referendum on whether to support the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) after Lok Sabha polls, Janata Dal United (JD-U) leader Sabir Ali on Saturday said that even if Congress holds a referendum, their decisions will be made within house only.
"It is Congress's decision whether to extend support the AAP or not. But even if they hold referendum or not, their decisions will be made within houses only," said Ali
He further said that the AAP are impatient and have a lack of experience.
"There is lack of experience and patience in them. They are thinking that they have gained so much power that they can run the whole country," he said.
In a carefully crafted strategy, the Congress has decided not to pull the plug on the AAP government, till the general elections.
The party is also planning to hold a referendum after this summer's Lok Sabha elections if it should continue supporting the Kejriwal government.
