New Delhi:

Even though Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is maintaining that it will not form a coalition government with any party, activist-lawyer Prashant Bhushan on Tuesday said that the party may consider supporting the Bharatiya Janata Party in Delhi.

However, after facing criticism from his party he backtracked by saying that it was his personal opinion.

Bhushan said on an English channel, "AAP may consider supporting BJP only if it gives us in writing that it will pass the Jan Lokpal Bill by December 29 and set up Jan Sabhas (or public assemblies) in Delhi as promised by the Aam Aadmi Party."

AAP also declined to comment on Bhushan's statement by saying that it is solely his view and and not of the party's. 

Kejriwal said that there is no question of partnering with or offering external support to the BJP. 

Formation of government in Delhi remained uncertain on Tuesday with single largest party BJP and runner up AAP refusing to stake claim, saying they do not have the numbers to provide a stable dispensation.
