 "Prepare for fresh election in Delhi, says BJP")
The BJP Tuesday told its new legislators in Delhi to prepare for fresh polls after elections threw up a hung assembly, party sources said.
"Don't consider yourself as MLAs but as candidates," a source quoted former party president Nitin Gadkari as telling the legislators after the party finished with 31 seats in the 70-member assembly.
The sources told IANS that Gadkari said the party was not keen to win over legislators from other parties to cobble a majority in the house.
The Aam Aadmi Party won 28 seats while the Congress got only eight. Neither the BJP and AAP are keen to form a government.
