Aam Admi party clarifies their stance as the election has resulted in no single party getting the magical number 36 to rule the government. AAP in their first outing surprised the congress by grabbing 28 seats and this is marked as a major victory.
There were rumors that AAP will be forming the government supported by BJP, but it seems that Yogendra Yadav, the leader of AAP has no intentions to join in hands there. "I find it unique that the party in first position is asking party in second position to form the government", he said, in response to reports that the BJP had said that it was willing to sit in the opposition, in Delhi.
"If the Lt Governor asks us then we will tell him we have only 28 MLAs and that does not add up to 36. AAP has not got the vote to form the next government, and it would be unfair to do so", he added.
The idea was also conveyed out by Arvind Kejriwal who said that the outing was good for AAP and they wished they had the majority and could form a government. "I completely agree that if we had a majority it would have been different, but Rome wasn't built in a day", he said. "Now let's see what they do. I would encourage BJP and Congress to join hands as their ideology is the same", he said.
So although the elections has been a clear statement it still puts Delhi back on square zero. The nation is eagerly watching what moves does the leading national parties, BJP and Congress make to work this out.
