AAP to stake claim for forming Government in Delhi

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party AAP will form a government in Delhi with the backing of the Congress party. In hints that it may assume power on the back of a positive response to its week-long public referendum, the AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal yesterday said, they will meet Lt Governor Najeeb Jung tomorrow to apprise him about the party’s decision. Kejriwal, whose one-year-old party had its roots in the anti-corruption movement, said a final decision on government formation will be announced tomorrow after analysing the results of the week-long referendum through SMS, IVRS and email and from the public meetings conducted over the weekend.

He said, though the Party has got the overwhelming participation of poeple during the public meetings and about 80 per cent of them have favoured that AAP should form the government but the final decision would be taken after a meeting of Political Affairs Committee.      Kejriwal said that there is no problem which can not be solved.

We have to strive for development.  We will make efforts for thatl.  We will try to attain achievements through collective efforts.  We don’t have the midas touch that will have golden impact instantly.  But we do have this faith that if One and half crore people of Delhi come together, then there is no problem that can not be solved.

The deadlock over government formation in Delhi continued for nearly two weeks after the announcement of the results on December 8. AAP has 28 seats while Congress with 8 in a House of 70 has agreed to give outside support. BJP is the single largest party with 31 seats in the Delhi Assembly.
