Finance Minister P Chidambaram feels that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will be a factor in the coming Lok Sabha elections but in how many places and to what effect he can't say.
"It (AAP) will be a factor but in how many places and to what effect, I can't say because I think the AAP mystique is to some extent unravelling or perhaps already unravelled," he told PTI in an interview here.
Asked about his own assessment of the fledgling party, he said, "well I think a combination of circumstances in Delhi gave rise to a party like AAP. But I don't think those circumstances prevail all over the country.
