Delhi has been without a government for eight months and in sharp remarks on Tuesday, the Supreme Court made it clear that it is unacceptable. "In a democracy, President's Rule cannot go on forever," the court told the Centre and Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung. The rebuke came as the Centre informed the court that President Pranab Mukherjee had sanctioned inviting the BJP - as the single largest party - to form a "popular government". The court said, "Every time just before a hearing, the Centre will come out with some statement, but nothing happens. We have given enough time but nothing came out."
