65% say BJP shouldn't form government in Delhi
Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Centre to apprise it of the outcome of the political process initiated by Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung by writing a letter to President Pranab Mukherjee on the possibility of government formation in Delhi by October 10.
A five-judge constitution bench, headed by justice HL Dattu, asked the Centre to inform it about the decision that the President takes on the L-G's letter.
On Tuesday, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal threatened to take to the streets to prevent the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from forming a government in Delhi.
Addressing a press conference, Kejriwal said he would take the 'sting video' to the President and request him not to allow L-G to call the BJP to form the government.
The AAP had released a 'sting video' at a press conference on Monday, claiming that senior BJP leader Sher Singh Dagar tried to bribe an AAP legislator to switch sides and help the BJP form a government in the Capital.
HT conducted an online poll and survey and asked readers to give their views on government formation in Delhi.
We asked our readers whether the L-G should call for fresh polls in Delhi after the AAP's allegations of horse-trading.
While 68.67% of the respondents said the L-G should call for elections, 29.93% said he should not and 1.4% respondents had nothing to say on the question. more

How BJP forms government: NCP making a supporting gesture by walking away; to help BJP prove majority and form government in Maharashtra. Well done. The pact was a settlement of not declaring the names of top cadre who hold bank account overseas. http://www.rediff.com/news/report/govt-may-reveal-to-sc-names-of-3-black-money-account-holders/20141027.htm more

The home ministry's prompt clearance to the LG's renewed effort to end the political stalemate was in stark contrast to BJP's lack of confidence about its ability to muster the numbers. LG is being forced to invoke Section 9 of NCT Act (entailing secret ballot). Will democracy be killed like this? more

Dear reders now the case is in SC and we have to wait. Also we have to unite to oppose BJP for forming Govt even President accepts the advese of LG. No provision of constitution provides formation of a govt based on secreat ballot before re-elections. What LG is advising is applicable after one re-election atleast. more

If Delhi Govt is formed by BJP by adopting corrupt means, it won't be able to give any solace to residents of Delhi, rather this will act like a catalyst to boost & escalate corruption in the state. Further, if LG or judiciary helped in any way in the formation by throwing away the rule book , they are also going to loose the credibility. Hope these genius brains won't bow under pressure. more
