The political logjam in Delhi is showing no signs of easing. BJP and Congress have dismissed the 18 pre-conditions laid down by Aam Aadmi Party, AAP, for their support and cooperation in forming government. After meeting Lt Governor Najeeb Jung yesterday, AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal sought 10 days’ time to take a decision on government formation. BJP has already declined to form the government in the national capital saying that it does not have majority in the 70-member Assembly.

Our correspondent reports, as the single largest party, BJP has 31 MLAs and Aam Aadmi party 28. But, both are unable to touch the magic figure of 36 required to form government. AAP has been repeatedly maintaining that it will neither seek support from the BJP nor the Congress.

As no clarity on government formation emerged even a week after election results were announced pushing the city towards a possibility of the President's rule, the Lt Governor has sent a detailed report to President Pranab Mukhejee on the current political situation.
