Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia on Thursday said that he is going to ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi on what grounds the BJP will form a government in Delhi, as they do not have the required number of seats.

"I want to ask Modi on what grounds BJP will form a government in Delhi when they still don't have the required numbers," said Sisodia.

Delhi has been under President's rule since February when Kejriwal resigned from the post of chief minister after his 49-day-old government failed to table its Jan Lokpal Bill in the state assembly.

The Assembly has been under suspended animation ever since and no party has staked claim to form the government.

BJP had won 31 seats in the Delhi Assembly polls of December last year but its number has come down to 28 in the 70-member house as three of its MLAs - Harsh Vardhan, Ramesh Bidhuri and Pervesh Verma - were elected to Lok Sabha in the recent general elections.
