The Congress has not taken any decision on forming an alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) so far, former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit said Monday.

"We havent't taken a decision on supporting AAP. The AAP has categorically said that it does not want to support anybody, nor do they require anybody's support. It is their decision," Dikshit told a TV channel.

On what might have gone wrong with the Congress's poor performance in the assembly polls, she said: "We haven't yet studied the whole thing."

"When we went to the elections, we went with absolute faith and confidence that our record of good governance in Delhi would be a factor that would make us win. Apparently, it wasn't the factor. We would have to look into what has happened," she said.
