Convener Arvind Kejriwal today launched a scathing attack on Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, who he claimed, was expected to invite the BJP to form a government in Delhi today.
Amid reports of BJP forming the government in Delhi, Kejriwal attacked Jung, with whom he has had a love-hate relationship, and asked whether the LG should not ask for a letter of support of MLAs or else he would be seen as acting partisan.
"Sources (claim)- Despite public outcry, LG likely to invite BJP to form government today. BJP will accept it...BJP still does not have nos. Sources - 6 Congress MLAs not yet ready. BJP's assessment - After taking oath, it would become easier to buy MLAs...
He also said that would Jung encourage horse trading if he invites the BJP for government formation.
"Would LG encourage horse trading if he invites a party to form govt despite knowing that they don't have nos? Questions - can LG invite a party to form govt without prima facie satisfying himself whether the party has nos?" Kejriwal tweeted.
Earlier in the day, AAP had a meeting with its legislators to formulate future course of action
"We will expose the BJP's attempt to buy Congress' MLAs and go before the people," said senior AAP leader and Patparganj MLA Manish Sisodia.
The party leadership also had meeting with its legislators to formulate the future course of action in the event the BJP forms the government.
