The LG's move keeps the option open for any political party or a combination of parties to try and form a government in future.

The Assembly elections late last year had given a split verdict with no political party getting absolute majority.  AAP, which won 28 seats, had formed the government in December with the outside support of 8 MLAs of Congress. BJP has 31 MLAs in the Assembly while NDA ally SAD has one.  The LG has also sent, along with his report, Kejriwal's resignation letter.
