Delhi govt formation: BJP has 28 seats
October 29, 2014  14:33
Currently BJP, along with ally Akali Dal's lone MLA, has 29 legislators and will require the support of five more MLAs to prove majority in the 67-member assembly if it decides to form the government.

The party is hoping of getting support of expelled AAP MLA Vinod Kumar Binny and Independent MLA from Mundka Ramvir Shokeen in case it decides to form government.

BJP had emerged the single largest party in the December assembly polls winning 31 seats but fell four seats short of a simple majority.

It refused to form government then, saying it will not resort to any "unfair means" to take over the reins.

Its strength came down to 28 after the Lok Sabha polls as three MLAs Harsh Vardhan, Ramesh Bidhuri and Pervesh Verma were elected to the Parliament.

With their resignation, the strength of the assembly also went down to 67. The bypolls to the three seats will be held on November 25.
