Stand-off continues on the formation of Delhi Government as BJP and Aam Admi party, which doesn’t have enough majority to form the government on their own have decided to sit in the opposition benches. AAP has already made it clear that neither it will support BJP nor ready to take its support to form the government. BJP also declared that it will not ask AAP support, but would like to sit in the opposition benches until someone voluntarily come forward extending support. Hence, the stalemate over formation of Delhi government continues.
Congress is closely watching the developments. However, it is not in a position to gather 28 MLAs support to form the government, but may be ready to extend its support to AAP, if asked for.
Former IPS officer and social activist Kiran Bedi said Aravind Kejriwal, who got a good reputation as a social activist, will definitely give a good governance to Delhi people, if becomes CM of Delhi state. She opined that AAP shouldn’t hesitate to take the support of BJP, as re-elections will be an extra burden on the government.
However, Aravind Kejriwal’s mentor Anna Hazare speaking to media at his native village Ralegaon said “I think it is not wise to take the support of either Congress or BJP, as both of they have tainted records. AAP holds a meeting with its newly elected MLAs and party seniors a short while ago. Later, they have declared that AAP will not support or take support of BJP or Congress party.
