Reiterating his support to an AAP government, Janata Dal-United (JD-U) legislator Shoaib Iqbal Wednesday said he too has been battling corruption for 20 years.
"Like Kejriwal and his party, I too have been fighting against corruption that prevails in Delhi," Iqbal told the media after meeting Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal at his residence.

"Even he (Nitish Kumar) agrees that we have to stop the BJP and support the AAP," Iqbal said.
