Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde today said the Lieutenant Governor will explore all options of forming a new government in Delhi before making any recommendation to centre for imposition of President's
rule . He told reporters in New Delhi, at present the Home Ministry has no role in it. Mr. Shinde was responding to a question on the possibility of imposition of President's rule in Delhi after the
results of the Assembly elections where no party got absolute majority.
Sources said the LG is expected to call the single largest party BJP, which along with its partner Akali Dal's one seat has 32 MLAs, to know whether it is ready to form a new government.
Sources added if the BJP declines the offer, the LG may ask the second largest party – the Aam Admi Party which bagged 28 seats — whether it is in a position to form the government.
Sources said even though both BJP and AAP had declared that they would not stake claim of forming the government, the LG will individually talk to leaders of the two parties.
