Earlier in the month, Kejriwal had said that Rahul Gandhi has refused to forge an alliance with the AAP for the Lok Sabha polls in the national capital.
Talking to reporters at the airport in Visakhapatnam, the AAP leader said he had met Gandhi recently and the Congress leader had refused to join hands with the AAP, news agency PTI reported.
Asked about Congress' Delhi unit president Sheila Dikshit's remarks that Kejriwal never approached her for an alliance, the chief minister said, "We have met Rahul Gandhi. Dikshit is not that important leader".
