New Delhi: New Delhi: A day after the Assembly poll results, Delhi is witnessing a political deadlock with a question mark over who will form the government in India's only city state.
With a victory in 32 seats, the BJP fell four short of majority. The debutant Aam Aadmi which has put forth a spectacular show, too fell short of the half-way mark with 28 seats in the 70-member Delhi Assembly
AAP has stated that the party will sit in the opposition and vowed to be constructive in its role.
As none of the two parties have the numbers, the options available are that the BJP can form a minority government and seek a trust vote in the Assembly.
However unlikely it may be, the AAP has the option of tying up with the Congress to form the government.
There is also an option of defection available which does not seem viable as two-third of a legislature party needs to break away for the same. With half of the 8 Congress MLAs from the minority community, the possibility of adopting that option appears bleak.
If no party goes ahead to claim a majority the national capital will be left with the only option of having a President's Rule. Fresh elections can be held if there is no positive movement towards government formation.
