View on govt formation clear since Dec. 2013: Delhi BJP chief

New Delhi:  Delhi BJP has stressed that its stand on government formation has been clear since December last year that it would never engage in horse-trading to come to power in the national capital after

Upadhyay and Jagdish Mukhi of BJP, Haroon Yusuf of Congress and AAP's Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia met the LG today. “All the parties expressed their inability to form the government.

The LG would be sending his report to the President,” a Raj Niwas release said. Along with ally Akali Dal's lone MLA, BJP currently has 29 legislators and would require the support of five more MLAs to prove its majority in the 67-member Assembly.  

BJP had emerged as the single-largest party after the December Assembly polls, winning 31 seats but falling four short of a simple majority. After BJP declined to come to power, AAP had formed the government with the support of Congress.

But the government led by Kejriwal resigned on Feb. 14, 2014, after the party's pet project, the Janlokpal Bill, could not be passed due to opposition from BJP and Congress. President's Rule was imposed in Delhi on Feb. 17.
