AAP-BJP will surely merge, says Ajay Maken

Congress leader Ajay Maken on Wednesday said the merger of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is surely going to happen in the coming days as most of the AAP members have joined the BJP.

"I will hold a road show before filing the nomination papers today. The inauguration of the election office will also take place before the nomination filing. Both of them (AAP and BJP) are with each other. Many people who were with Anna Hazare earlier have joined the BJP now. So, it will not be surprising if in future the Aam Aadmi Party also merges with the Bharatiya Janata Party," said Maken.

"The merger of both parties is surely going to take place. Be it now, after six months or later. The people should consider this thing before casting their vote," he added.

"They all started with the name of corruption, but now no one is talking about that. Kiran Bedi has no experience of administration or policy making," he added.

The elections for the 70-member Delhi Assembly will be held in a single phase on February 7, with the counting of votes set to take place on February 10.
