New Delhi: After Haryana and Maharashtra, all eyes are on the BJP — will it take a shot at government formation or go in for fresh elections to the Delhi Assembly, under suspended animation since February. The results of the two states appear to have enthused even those saffron MLAs, who were earlier against seeking early elections.
While lieutenant-governor Najeeb Jung is yet to send a formal invitation to the BJP to stake claim to forming a new government, there is a buzz in saffron circles that the party may prefer fresh elections. A senior BJP leader said its aim would be to win an absolute majority so that it can provide a stable government for the next five years.
The RSS, which had earlier expressed fears that a fresh poll may not favour saffron forces, is now learnt to have advised the BJP to go in for fresh elections.
Both the AAP and the Congress, that had earlier pushed for fresh elections, are reportedly worried over the results in Haryana and Maharashtra. An AAP insider said many MLAs were now not in favour of fresh elections now.
