New Delhi:
Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Najeeb Jung today met Home Minister Rajnath Singh amid a demand by the Aam Admi Party for dissolving the Delhi assembly and holding fresh elections.
Mr Jung, who was closeted with the Home Minister for about 20 minutes, is said to have discussed various issues, including the political situation in the national capital, official sources said.
The AAP had recently alleged that the BJP is trying to form a government in Delhi by indulging in horse-trading, a charge denied by the Home Minister himself.
The BJP has maintained that it was ready for fresh assembly elections in Delhi.
The BJP had emerged as the single largest party after the assembly polls in December last year, securing 32 seats, but it fell short of the majority in the 70-member assembly. But the party had refused to form the government in December, saying it did not have the numbers, and will not resort to "unfair means".
The AAP , which had 28 MLAs, had later formed the government with the support of eight Congress MLAs. BJP's number came down to 28 after three of its MLAs - Harsh Vardhan, Ramesh Bidhuri and Pervesh Verma - were elected to the Lok Sabha.
