Asked about AAP workers Wednesday staging a noisy demonstration at BJP office which was followed by a clash, Kejriwal said "there was no need for this".

"Our fight is with corruption. Some people indulged in violence. I seek forgiveness. If we indulge in violence, the movement will be derailed. I was very upset about it. I talked to party workers," he said.

Asked if the workers had sought his consent before going to BJP office, Kejriwal said they do not ask him for everything.

"They protested but strategically there was no need for it. Our fight is not with the BJP or Congress. It is with corruption. Taking part in violence is completely non-negotiable. (I told them) if it happens again, I will come back from Gujarat."

Asked about alternative to Modi since he himself had no ambition to be prime minister, Kejriwal said he had no answer to the question.
