All parties ready for fresh polls in Delhi: L-G
  • 5 years ago
Delhi on Monday night appeared headed for Assembly elections with BJP, AAP and Congress expressing themselves against formation of a new government and seeking a fresh mandate to end the eight-month long political uncertainty.

Indications are that Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, who met leaders of the three political parties, may send his recommendation to the President for dissolving the assembly any time.

While BJP declined the LG's offer to form a government, AAP and Congress made it clear that they were in favour of immediate elections.

The LG held consultations in the wake of the Supreme Court putting the issue on the fast track and giving him time till November 11 to explore the possibility of forming a government.

The court was hearing AAP's petition seeking early dissolution of the Assembly which has been under suspended animation since February after the fall of the AAP government.

Satish Upadhyay and Jagdish Mukhi of BJP, Haroon Yusuf of Congress and AAP's Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia met the Lt Governor.

"All the above parties expressed their inability to form the government. The Lt Governor would be sending his report to the Hon'ble President," a Raj Niwas release said.
