AAP ready for re-election in Delhi

As BJP and AAP, both are firm in sitting in the Opposition for getting short of majority, it is now seemed to be a re-election in the state.

“We will not give support to either the Congress or the BJP. We will form the government only when we have the numbers, we don’t believe in coalition politics. It’s not a bad thing to have a re-poll, we’re ready for it,” Kejriwal said.

“AAP members have been approached by BJP, none of them have yielded,” Kejriwal alleged.

Kejriwal also said that AAP has not decided yet on contesting the Lok Sabha polls. “We have not yet decided on contesting the Lok Sabha elections. We are widening our reach and AAP has units in over 350 districts. We will decide on contesting the 2014 Lok Sabha elections if people want,” Kejriwal said.

“Some day or the other, we eventually have to fight the Lok Sabha elections, will decide if we should do that in 2014,” he added.

Meanwhile Kejriwal’s former colleague and IPS officer Kiran Bedi said that AAP and BJP should come together and form the government.

“Coming together of BJP and AAP will be a respect of the voters’ mandate. BJP and AAP should talk to each other. The voters want both BJP and AAP and Delhi needs a good government,” Bedi said.

AAP leader Yogendra Yadav rejected the Congress support to form the government. “We are not going to form the government. We will sit in the opposition and play the role of a constructive opposition. As per the Constitution, the largest party has to take the responsibility of forming government,” AAP leader Yogendra Yadav said.

“We have not got majority so it is very surprising that the number one party (BJP) is not ready to form the government and telling us to do so,” he said.

The BJP has also said they will not claim the stake to form the government.

“…Since I don’t have number I cannot stake my claim in forming my government in Delhi…Since I don’t have the magic number of 36, I really cannot be a part of the government formation in Delhi,” BJP’s chief ministerial candidate Harsh Vardhan said.

All eyes are now at Lt Governor Najeeb Jung who is speculated to invite single largest party BJP to form the next government. BJP has 32 seats and needs another 4 to clear the majority in 70-seat Delhi assembly.
