New Delhi: In further embarrassment to Congress party, two of its MLAs in Delhi assembly have supported former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's stand on BJP's reported willingness to form government in Delhi.
 
The two Congress  MLAs, Mateen Ahmad and Asif Mohammad Khan,  have supported Sheila Dikshit's statement that BJP should form the government if the party is in a position to do that.

The Congress had distanced itself from Sheila's remarks terming it as her personal opinion.

Coming out strongly in support of Sheila Dikshit's statement the Seelampur MLA  Mateen Ahmad  said, "All those who are demanding that Dikshit be thrown out of the Congress for her remarks must take action against me too. They must throw me also out of the party as I am supporting her views. What is wrong in her remarks."
   
"I also feel that if the BJP can form government, it must do so. This confusion has been on for months. Now clarity is important," added Ahmad.
Asif Mohammad Khan , the Congress MLA from Okhla,  also supported Sheila Dikshit's statement and wondered why people were questioning that.

"There is nothing wrong in what Sheila Dikshit has said. BJP should form the government if they have the numbers," said Khan.
