#BJP ready to form govt in Delhi: Satish Upadhyay # Rajnath Singh

New Delhi, July 20 (IBNS): Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Satish Upadhyay met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh at his residence on Sunday fuelling speculations of a fresh poll in Delhi.

"If there is a decision of election in Delhi, then we are ready to go ahead for the election. If we were told to form government, then we will go ahead with the detailed analysis for the same," he told media after his meeting with Rajnath Singh on Sunday.

Earlier NDTV quoting sources, reported that if the BJP does stake claim, senior city leader Jagdish Mukhi will be its candidate for chief minister.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday alleged that the BJP is trying to buy Congress MLAs to form the government in Delhi.

He said the BJP is making such moves after they failed to 'buy AAP MLAs'.

"After failing to buy any AAP MLA, BJP now trying to buy 6 cong MLAs. Price - Rs 20 crores each, 2 ministers and 4 chairmen," Kejriwal tweeted.

After the AAP government-backed Jan Lokpal Bill was not tabled in the Delhi Assembly, Arvind Kejriwal resigned on Feb 14 as Delhi Chief Minister after remaining in power for 49 days.
