Aam Aadmi Party asks Najeeb Jung to review decision on government formation

NEW DELHI: A day after Aam Aadmi Party released lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung's letter to the President regarding government formation in Delhi, party chief Arvind Kejriwal urged him to review his decision on Wednesday.

In a brief meeting with Jung, Kejriwal also submitted a CD of the sting operation which purportedly showed a senior Delhi BJP leader trying to poach an AAP MLA. Kejriwal was accompanied by Kumar Vishwas and Manish Sisodia.

In his September 4 letter, Jung had sought permission from the President to invite the single largest party (BJP) to form a government in Delhi.

"We have submitted the CD of our sting operation, which shows BJP trying to buy our MLA for Rs 4 crore. We requested the LG to watch the video. We also asked him to revise the September 4 letter he sent to President Pranab Mukherjee in which, in a way, he has sought permission to invite BJP for government formation," said Manish Sisodia.

Accusing BJP of indulging in horse trading, AAP leaders said that even if the party forms the government it will not be able to solve Delhi's problem. "Such a government will be a burden on the people of Delhi and forming it this way will be betraying them," Sisodia said. They once again requested the LG to dissolve the assembly so that Delhi can elect a stable government. Sisodia said that, if required, they will submit the CD to the President.

AAP's meeting with Jung comes a day after the Supreme Court gave the central government a month to end the deadlock over government formation in Delhi.

Sources said AAP leaders are likely to meet Delhi Police commissioner on Thursday to file an FIR against the BJP leader for allegedly offering a bribe to their MLA.
