The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Sunday held a rally to press its demand that the assembly be dissolved and re-election be held in Delhi.

"We are gathered here to demand re-election in Delhi. The BJP and the Congress are running away from the election," AAP leader Manish Sisodia said at the Jantar Mantar in the heart of the city.

While addressing thousands of people, Sosodia said both the parties are scared of losing the Delhi assembly elections.

Sisodia said we will continue to come here till the demands are met.
