The Aam Aadmi Party, which is trying to prevent the formation of a BJP government in Delhi, on Saturday attacked its rival accusing it of shying away from elections .

"Why is the BJP scared of elections if they think the AAP is a spent force," AAP spokesperson Manish Sisodia said at the India Today Mind Rocks Summit 2014 in New Delhi.

Dismissing the remark, Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay, also speaking at the Summit, said, "We are ready for elections. Let the Delhi Assembly polls be announced."

Upadhyay said his party will accept any constitutional solution to the deadlock in Delhi which has been under Presidents Rule since February 17 following the resignation of the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government.

A delegation of AAP leaders is expected to meet President Pranab Mukherjee later on Saturday to ask him to prevent Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung from inviting the BJP to form the government in the national capital.

In his report, Jung had sought permission from the President of India to call the single largest party to take a shot at power though it is well short of majority in the Assembly.

AAP has reacted strongly to Jung's move and accused him of promoting horse-trading. "The BJP wants to form government in Delhi by horse-trading. Asking the BJP to form government will be the murder of democracy," Kejriwal said on Saturday.

"I have told AAP MLAs that if BJP leaders try to bribe them, they shouldn't refuse but record them on camera," Kejriwal said.

BJP, with 32 MLAs including one from ally Shiromani Akali Dal, is the single largest party in Delhi. The Kejriwal-led AAP has 27 while the Congress has eight in the 70-member Delhi Assembly.
