Mann, the AAP state president while replying to a question over his party’s prospective alliance with the Congress alleged that Modi and Shah are pursuing a “politics of hatred”.
He added that the party was once a member of the Mahagathbandhan and if need be is ready to be dissolved as its members come from a variety of fields including theatre and journalism.
Incidentally, Mann was in the news a couple of months earlier when he had announced that he had quit drinking since 1 January on his mother’s advice.
Often criticised for being a heavy drinker, this announcement by Mann earned him high praise from party supremo Arvind Kejriwal.
