Kejriwal to meet President Pranab Mukherjee today

New Delhi, Sep 6 (IBNS): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Chief Arvind Kejriwal is scheduled to meet President Pranab Mukherjee on Saturday amid reports of Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung’s recommendation to invite Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the single largest party, to form government in Delhi.

A delegation of AAP leaders, headed by Kejriwal, will meet the President requesting him not to allow the Lieutenant Governor to invite the BJP.

With 29 legislators, the BJP emerged as the single largest party in the Delhi assembly. It was just five legislators short of a majority.

The BJP had won 31 seats but three party MLAs, including Harsh Vardhan, contested and won the Lok Sabha election in May this year.

Kejriwal’s AAP, with 28 legislators, had formed government with help from the Congress which was reduced to just eight seats after 15 years in power. But the AAP supremo had resigned after 49 days of assuming office of the chief minister, followed by the President’s Rule that was imposed in February this year.
