The Supreme Court on Tuesday adjourned the hearing on Delhi Government formation issue till October 30.

Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Prashant Bhushan accused the government of playing games to postpone Delhi assembly elections.

"I said in court that the Centre and BJP are dilly dallying and postponing polls in Delhi. The Supreme Court should give an order to the Centre to dissolve assembly in Delhi and ask for fresh elections. The next hearing is day after tomorrow," said Bhushan.

Reportedly, President Pranab Mukherjee has given his consent to invite the BJP to form a government in Delhi.

The Congress and Aam Admi Party have condemned the invitation to the BJP as the single largest party to form the government.

The AAP had earlier said the announcement of by-polls in Delhi clearly indicated that the BJP was 'scared' to dissolve the assembly and conduct fresh elections.
