New Delhi, December 27: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday dismissed a report which claimed the party is likely to amend its constitution to clear decks for his third consecutive term as the party chief. Calling the report useless and fictitious, Arvind Kejriwal said media should do stories on key issues such as Justice Loya's death and Rafale deal.

"I wish u guys cud do stories of huge public importance like Justice Loya’s murder, Rafael deal, Sahara Birla diaries, Bansal suicide etc than wasting precious airtime on such useless and fictitious stories (sic)," Kejriwal tweeted. "No member will hold the same post as an office bearer for more than two consecutive terms of three years each," says the constitution of AAP.
