Constitution committee will decide for the vidhan sabha elections in Delhi

Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)'s Delhi legislators met President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday to demand immediate dissolution of the legislative assembly. Former Delhi chief minister Kejriwal-led AAP government resigned in February this year after the defeat of a resolution to introduce the Jan Lokpal Bill in the assembly. The assembly since then has been under suspended animation. "We would urge you to kindly save the Constitution by dissolving the Delhi Assembly and ordering fresh elections immediately to prevent an assault on the basic foundations of the country's democracy," Kejriwal said in a memorandum submitted to Mukherjee on behalf of his party. The meeting with the President came one day after the party wrote a letter to Bharatiya Janata Party's Rajnath Singh, accusing the party of trying to poach its legislators to join BJP and eventually form a government in the Delhi. In the memorandum too, the party conveyed to the President BJP's "desperate attempts to poach MLAs from other parties" to try and form government. "In the last few days BJP has approached 15 of our MLAs, with offers of ministerial berths, properties and cash ranging from Rs10 to Rs20 crore. When this did not work, the BJP has now resorted to giving life threats to our MLAs," the memorandum said. The greenhorn party has on a number of earlier occasions accused BJP of attempts to horse-trade its legislators and has in the past flip-flopped over its decision to form a government in Delhi. Delhi is under President's rule. Fresh elections can only happen once the lieutenant governor dissolves the assembly.
