Delhi polls: BJP will not form govt in Delhi: Harsh Vardhan

December 12, 2013 20:12

Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung today held discussions with BJP's Chief Ministerial candidate Harsh Vardhan in an effort to break the stalemate over government formation in the national capital.

The Delhi polls threw up a fractured mandate with no party securing majority in the 70-member Assembly. BJP, along with its ally Akali Dal's one seat, has 32 MLAs in the 70-member House while AAP has got 28 seats followed by Congress' eight.

JD-U has won one seat while the Mundka seat had gone to an Independent. Both BJP and Aam Aadmi Party have been sticking to their ground of not forming a government citing lack of clear mandate.

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal had declared yesterday that his party would prefer fresh polls than forming a government with support from Congress or BJP.
