Kolkata, Dec 21 (IANS): Claiming that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had the tacit support of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy Saturday said the new party was heading towards doom.

"AAP seem to be the alter ego of Congress, but they have the support of Sonia Gandhi. All this while they have been attacking the Congress. But now they are seeking Congress's support to form government," he said about AAP's intention to form the government in Delhi.

Swamy, who earlier had said that AAP was led by people committed to Maoist ideology, claimed that the party was headed for destruction.

"Once they take support of Congress and form the government, their destruction is inevitable. In fact, they are destined to be doomed. They are damned if they form the government, they are damned if they don't," he added.

Claiming the people of Delhi were showing positive signs, the AAP Saturday hoped to break the logjam over government formation in Delhi.

"Till now we have got a very positive and explicit response from the people of Delhi in the meetings held in various constituencies. If things go on the same way, AAP will definitely form the government," AAP leader Manish Sisodia has said.
