Lieutenant Governor (LG) Najeeb Jung has sent a status report to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) over government formation in Delhi.

Yesterday, Jung held consultations with the leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) at the Raj Niwas to explore the possibility of government formation in Delhi.

In the meeting, all the parties expressed their inability to form the government in Delhi. Now, the LG would be sending his report to President Pranab Mukherjee.

The LG met all the three party leaders separately.

Delhi has been under President's Rule since February after Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government stepped down after 49 days in power.

 

The BJP-Shiromani Akali Dal coalition has 29 seats in the 70-member Delhi Assembly. The alliance had won 32 seats in the Delhi Assembly polls held last year, but three BJP MLAs were elected to the Lok Sabha in the general elections. The AAP had won 28 seats in the polls.
