We can't take or give support to Congress, BJP: Prashant Bhushan

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) member Prashant Bhushan Tuesday said the AAP will neither take support nor extend support to either the Congress or the BJP.
"People have supported us so that we can create and maintain an alternative government in the country, and in Delhi. Hence we cannot support parties like BJP and Congress, because AAP was created as an alternative to these two parties," Bhushan said.
Bhushan Monday said that his party may consider giving issue-based support to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi.
"What I said, that was in a rhetorical context. I said yes, if the BJP becomes like AAP, and does the same things which our party does, and believes in bringing about a change, then we can think of supporting them."
"However, such a scenario is not possible, taking the past records of the two parties into consideration," he said.
