The Supreme Court is on Thursday likely to decide on a petition filed by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), seeking dissolution of the Delhi Assembly and fresh polls in the national capital.

The Delhi Assembly has been under suspended animation and city under President's Rule since the AAP government led by Arvind Kejriwal quit in February.

At the hearing on Tuesday, the Supreme Court had slammed the Central government as well as Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung for failing to break the deadlock over government formation.

“In a democracy, the President's Rule cannot go on forever,” a five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice HL Dattu said in scathing remarks.

The remarks came even as the Centre informed the SC that President has given his consent to the LG's proposal to invite the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form the government in Delhi. The court then rapped the government for the five-month delay and questioned why the authorities failed to act expeditiously.

LG Jung, after being rapped by the Supreme Court, yesterday said he will kick off consultations with the BJP, AAP and Congress in the next couple of days in fresh efforts to install an elected government in the capital or dissolving the Assembly to pave way for elections early next year.

Jung met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and discussed with him possible solutions to end the political uncertainty in Delhi.
