"Annaji used to say that he will never support any political party. I am confused whether Annaji is supporting Mamata Banerjee or the Trinamool. It is fine if Annaji is only supporting a leader, not a party."

Sisodia said people in east Delhi - where he lives - and Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh had asked him to contest the election but he said he prefers to campaign for the party.

He denied accusations that Kejriwal and the AAP "ran away" over the Jan Lokpal bill instead of governing Delhi .

"The truth is we did not want to form the government. Circumstances forced us to form a government.

"With 28 MLAs (legislators), the government can last only this long. More numbers are needed to run a stable government."
