Delhi deadlock: AAP accuses Delhi L-G of batting for BJP
- 5 years ago
Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday hit out at Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, accusing him of favouring the BJP in its claims to form the next government in Delhi.
"We don't know what maths the L-G is using," Kejriwal said.
Kejriwal was responding to the Centre's stand in the Supreme Court that the President of India is considering the proposal that Jung had sent and seeking legal advice over it.
In his proposal to Pranab Mukherjee, Jung had said that the single largest party should be invited to form the government in Delhi, which is currently under the President's Rule following the resignation of the Kejriwal government in February this year.
Even after three of its MLAs were elected to the Lok Sabha in the last general elections, the BJP has 28 members in the Delhi Assembly. Its ally, the Shiromani Akali Dal, has one. AAP has 27 MLAs while the Congress has eight.
Questioning Jung's proposal to the President, Kejriwal said the BJP had already given a letter to the L-G in which it said it did not have the numbers to form the government in Delhi. "The BJP has neither withdrawn that letter nor submitted a new one," Kejriwal said.
How has the AAP sting video queered BJP's chances in Delhi?
Kejriwal had also called Jung's letter favouring the BJP an "open invitation for horse-trading", an allegation it sought to substantiate through a sting video it released on Monday.
The grainy video shows Delhi BJP leader Sher Singh Dagar offering money to AAP legislator Dinesh Mohaniya to quit the Delhi Assembly to improve the BJP's chances of forming a government in Delhi.
Dagar made an angry rebuttal to the disclosure but no party leader came to his defence and the party sought to distance itself from the incident.
AAP later said it released the video to prevent Najeeb Jung from inviting the BJP to form the Delhi government.
