"We asked LG then under what formula cud govt be formed in del? He had no answers. We told him that delay in dissolving assembly was encouraging horse trading," he said.

Currently, Delhi assembly has been kept under suspended animation and the President Rule is in force.

Kejriwal was accompanied by his party leaders as he headed out for Lt Governor’s residence this morning to seek removal of President’s Rule in Delhi.

The AAP supremo’s meeting with Najeeb Jung came a day after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is now ruling at the Centre, announced that they were ready to form the government if they are invited by the Lt Governor to contest fresh elections in Delhi.
