After a stunning performance in the Delhi assembly polls, Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal has asked AAP's all winning candidates to report if any party approaches them for bargain, party sources said Monday.
According to the sources, the AAP chief is suspicious of horse-trading and is making best effort to keep the newly elected flock intact and united.
At the two-hour long meeting at his residence of AAP's core grouyp, Kejriwal asked all the winning candidates to work in their constituencies and directly report to him about any advances made to them by any other political parties.
Kejriwal clarified at the meeting that the AAP would not form alliance either with the Congress or the Bharatiya Janata Party, AAP national secretary Pankaj Gupta said.
He told IANS that such meetings will continue till the other parties decide on the government formation.
"There will be another meeting Monday evening, where the AAP chief will interact with all the winning candidates regarding the position of the party," said Gupta.
