NEW DELHI: After the Supreme Court on Tuesday rapped the Centre and the lieutenant governor over the delay in government formation in Delhi, AAP and Congress have charged that BJP was "running away" from fresh polls in the national capital, claims which were promptly countered by the saffron outfit.

"BJP is not confident of winning assembly elections, that is why they are delaying it. It is playing dirty politics over the issue. If BJP had the magic numbers, it would have formed the govt in the national capital," AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal told reporters here.

"BJP knows it doesn't have the numbers... which is why it running away from fresh elections," he said.

Kejriwal also accused Delhi lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung of favouring one particular party instead of protecting the Constitution.

"It is very sad that instead of protecting Constitution, the lieutenant governor is working on the direction of one political party," he said.

Senior party member and lawyer Prashant Bhushan also said that BJP was scared of fresh elections which is why, once again, they tried to have the court hearing postponed on Tuesday.

Earlier on Tuesday, Congress, too, hit out at BJP in the wake of the Supreme Court reprimand earlier today and said that it was adopting different "tactics" to delay assembly elections in Delhi.

"From day one we are saying that BJP is running away from fresh elections. They are just finding excuses one after another. Congress will oppose BJP and can never think of an AAP-BJP government in Delhi... we will fully oppose it," said DPCC chief Arvinder Singh.

"If BJP had the numbers, they would have formed the government. "It is clear that they don't have the numbers, inviting BJP to form the government is not reasonable," he averred.

Reacting sharply to the allegations, BJP charged that former Delhi chief minister Kejirwal had left the people of the city in a limbo after he quit office here to pursue his prime ministerial ambitions.

"People of Delhi had given Mr Kejriwal the kind of mandate where his AAP had formed the government in Delhi with the support of Congress.

"Ironically, in a hurry to become the prime minister of the country, Mr Kejriwal left the people of Delhi in a limbo and rushed to Varanasi. But after he was taught a lesson throughout the country, today he has come back to Delhi and is expecting that the people of Delhi would support him," said BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra.

In the Lok Sabha polls earlier this year, Kejriwal had unsuccessfully contested against Narendra Modi in Varanasi while his party managed to win only four seats.
