Delhi govt formation: SC wants Centre's reply by October 10

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted Centre time till October 10 to reply about the outcome of political consultations on government formation in Delhi on a petition by the Aam Aadmi Party.

Aam Aadmi Party had filed a petition in the Supreme Court to direct the Central government and lieutenant governor to dissolve the Delhi assembly, and order fresh elections in the capital.

AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal had resigned as Delhi chief minister after the assembly session was adjourned sine die following protests by the opposition over the Jan Lokpal Bill.

AAP, on Monday, released a video which allegedly showed one of its MLAs being offered money by a BJP leader to resign from the post. Chances of a new government being formed in the capital without a re-election look bleak after AAP's sting operation on Delhi BJP vice-president Sher Singh Dagar. BJP, which has not clarified its stand on forming the government, will now find it difficult to stake a claim. Party sources said any attempt to cobble together a majority will leave it open to attack from AAP and Congress.

Although it doesn't have a majority, BJP has always maintained that 'all options are open'.

LG Najeeb Jung's report to the President indicating the possibility of government formation in Delhi had led to speculation that BJP, which is the single largest party in the Delhi assembly, will finally take a shot at power.

With most MLAs said to be against a re-election so soon, BJP could have sustained a minority government and strengthened its base in the city.
