AAP says it can't form government

Neither we have the majority nor have we finished first, says Yogendra Yadav

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said Friday that it lacks the numbers to form a government in Delhi and this decision will be conveyed to Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung Saturday.

"We don't have majority (support) nor have we finished first" in the 70-member house, party leader Yogendra Yadav told the media.

Yadav said AAP founder leader Arvind Kejriwal would meet Jung Saturday in response to a formal invitation from the Lt. Governor regarding government formation in Delhi.

On Friday, the BJP, which finished at the head of a fractured Delhi assembly with 31 seats, said it cannot form a government. The AAP finished second with 28 seats.
