Agra: Union minister Ghulam Nabi Azad today said the Aam Aadmi Party was in a quandary about government formation in Delhi, as its leaders have found the reality “very different from the dreamworld they had been living in”.
The number of seats they have won is far beyond their expectations, and “with no experience of running a government” they are finding it hard to come to terms with the reality, Azad told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.
On the Congress party's support to AAP, the Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare said elections are held for the purpose of forming governments, so the Congress was willing to support the AAP. But it was strange that the APP was putting conditions for the support.
He said the practice was that the supporting party lays down conditions, but it was the other way round in the case of AAP. “Have you ever seen a party laying down conditions to those who extend it support in the formation of government?” he asked.
Meanwhile, the Union Health Minister said a network of viral and other infectious diseases research laboratories was being set up across the country by the Indian Council for Medical Research and the Department of Health Research (DHR) to “build capacity for handling outbreaks and conduct research on all emerging, re-emerging and common viral diseases as well as other infectious diseases.
