Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung recommends President's rule in Delhi



Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung has recommended the imposition of President's rule in Delhi as one of the options to break the deadlock over formation of a new government, with no party ready yet to assume power.

In a report sent to the President on Saturday Dec 14,2013, Lt Governor NajeebJung has highlighted options after consulting single-largest party, the BJP and then the Aam Aadmi Party, which came in second in the Assembly elections, which threw up a hung verdict. The BJP has said no; the Aam Aadmi Party has sought 10 days time to think it over.

LT Governor Najeeb Jung has reportedly noted in his report that central rule can be imposed with the Assembly kept in suspended animation and if at any point a party comes forward to stake claim, it can prove its majority and form government.


The term of the assembly ends on Wednesday, December 18,2013 and a new government should be in pace before then
