Delhi government formation: SC terms L-G's move 'positive', adjourns hearing to Nov 11
  • 5 years ago
Terming the lieutenant governor's move to talk to all political parties on forming a government in Delhi as "positive", the Supreme Court on Thursday adjourned hearing on the matter to November 11.

"There could be a minority government with outside support of a political outfit. Let us wait for some time ," the Supreme Court said while hearing a plea from the Aam Aadmi Party on dissolving the assembly and holding fresh polls in Delhi.

L-G Najeeb Jung, who returned from abroad Wednesday, had met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and called the BJP, Congress and AAP to discuss any possibility of forming a government.

"In view of the President's approval to explore the possibility of installing a popular government in Delhi, the Lt Governor would be exploring the possibilities with the leaders of all political parties over the next few days," LG's office had said.

BJP, which is the single largest party, is yet to give any clear signal on its strategy but there were indications that the party was preparing for fresh polls in January or February.

Sources said BJP President Amit Shah and Union ministers Nitin Gadkari and Rajnath Singh were in favour of the party forming a government while some others were of the view that it should not run away from polls when Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rating was high.

"There is a possibility of the party turning down offer of government formation," a senior party leader told PTI.
