New Delhi, July 21 (IBNS): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Monday meet Lt Governor Najeeb Jung and said a delay in dissolving the Delhi Assembly was 'encouraging horse trading'.

He met Jung and demanded  dissolution of Delhi Assembly and sought fresh elections in the national capital.

"Met LG. Had good discussions. He will now invite BJP for discussions. If BJP claims they can form govt, LG will ask them to show nos.We presented all MLAs before LG n told him they were not going anywhere. Cong has already paraded their MLAs before mediaon Sat," Kejriwal tweeted.

"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.
