"On June 4, the INDIA bloc government will be formed and AAP will also have representation at the Centre.

I will work 24 hours, travel across the country to end this dictatorship," said Kejriwal. Kejriwal claimed that the BJP is asking for 400 seats because it wants to change the constitution and impose dictatorship. "They (BJP) are saying that they need 400 seats. Someone asked why you need 400 seats they said that they had to do some big work later. It came to be known that they want to change the Constitution and end reservation. We will die but not allow them to end democracy and impose dictatorship," he said. "We did development in Delhi. We constructed schools, hospitals, mohalla clinics, made electricity free. Now when I go for election campaign I seek votes on work done by me. But they (BJP) are running country for last 10 years but they keep seeking votes on irrelevant things as they not a single work mention in 10 years," he added.
