The Supreme Court on Wednesday slammed the Centre for delay in deciding on government formation in Delhi saying it made no sincere efforts in the last five months to have a new government and that ‘this can’t go on forever.’

The Centre told the SC that the President has agreed on Lt. Governor’s proposal to invite the BJP to explore government formation in Delhi. Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung has recommended inviting the BJP to form the government.

“Suppose Lt. Governor is going to invite the largest party (BJP). Are they in a position to form the government?” the court enquired, apparently making a reference to the number of legislators the BJP has in the Delhi assembly.

The central government sought to wriggle out of the situation, saying that after putting the Delhi assembly under suspended animation, it had a year’s time to explore the possibilities and the court could not issue any direction restricting the time available to the President in taking the decision.
