Congress replies to Aam Aadmi Party's 18-point letter Monday Dec 16,2013

The Congress on Monday Dec 16,2013 told the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that 16 of the 18 points it has raised in a bid to form a government in Delhi needed no legislative backing.



On Monday Dec 16,2013, the Congress responded that 16 of the demands were "administrative" in nature -- which could be tackled by any government

"The permission of the legislative assembly is not needed for their implementation once the government is formed," said the Congress letter to Mr Kejriwal.

Signed by Congress General Secretary Shakeel Ahmed, the Congress letter said the other two issues - support for a Jan Lokpal bill and full statehood for Delhi - were outside the purview of the Delhi government.


The AAP, under intense pressure to take power, said it would take a decision in 48 hours.

Congress General Secretary Shakeel Ahmed said the letter addressed to party president Sonia Gandhi only betrayed the AAP's political immaturity


AAP leader Yogendra Yadav on Monday Dec 16,2013 said the party will on Tuesday consider and take a decision on the Congress' reply to their Delhi-related points
