Mr Kejriwal was addressing a public meeting at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar to mark the party's stunning performance in the assembly elections in Delhi. The Aam Aadmi party won 28 of the 70 assembly seats in Delhi and finished second to the BJP which got 31.

Mr Kejriwal said they would need more funds to contest Lok Sabha elections and urged people to donate generously. But he did not say in how many states and seats AAP would contest on.

"This fight (assembly election) could not be fought without your donations. We will now contest Lok Sabha polls and request you to donate generously," said Mr Kejriwal.

Manish Sisodia, who won from Patparganj assembly seat in Delhi, said AAP's Kumar Vishwas may contest Lok Sabha elections against Rahul Gandhi.
