Is Delhi heading for assembly polls?

BJP sources said the Delhi unit has started preparations for polls, preferably in January or February, and the Union government may soon indicate to Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung to dissolve the assembly paving way for fresh elections.

They said the Centre may clarify its position on the political situation in Delhi before a five-judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court tomorrow.

Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar on October 10 had informed the court that the Centre’s stand on government formation in Delhi will be known after Diwali. Tomorrow is the next date of hearing in the case.

“We have started preparations for the polls which may take place in January. The central leadership has been informed that we are ready for polls,” a senior Delhi BJP leader said.

The Election Commission on Saturday had announced bypoll to three assembly constituencies on November 25 but if the Lt Governor dissolves the assembly then the bypolls will not take place.

Last week, Delhi BJP General Secretary Ramesh Bidhuri had said the party might turn down any offer by the Lt Governor to form government.

Asserting that the party has strengthened its support base significantly since the assembly polls in December last year, a number of BJP leaders said majority of party workers in the city are fully prepared to face the election again.

The Lt Governor last month had sent a report to President Pranab Mukherjee seeking permission to invite the BJP to form government in Delhi. In the report, Jung gave a detailed analysis of the political situation and underlined the need to have an elected government in the city which is under President’s Rule since February 17 following resignation of the Aam Aadmi Party government which was in power for 49 days.

The BJP has been officially maintaining that it will take a decision on government formation in Delhi after getting an invite from the Lt Governor.
