NEW DELHI: Delhi LG Najeeb Jung has sent a report to the Centre communicating the inability of both BJP and Aam Admi Party to form the government in the state for now, and recommending President ’s rule as a way out of the deadlock. The newly-elected assembly can be kept under suspended animation until any of the political formations are willing stake claim, the LG is believed to have suggested."We have got the LG’s report. He has listed a few options. The home ministry has initiated the process of consultations with legal experts," Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde told reporters here on Monday. According to sources in the ministry, the LG’s report presents a factual account of his consultations with BJP leader Harsh Vardhan and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal over the last few days. While the BJP, the single largest party with 32 seats (along with ally SAD), had refused to step forward to form the government citing its inadequate numbers, AAP leader Kejriwal asked LG for more time to decide on staking claim. The Congress , on its part, has offered unconditional support to AAP."However, Kejriwal has not indicated the timeframe by which he would take a call on forming the government. So, an option before us is to impose President’s rule in the next few days and keep the assembly under suspended animation. The moment any party is in a position to form the government and comes forward to stake claim, President’s rule can be revoked and the new government installed," explained a home ministry official.Home ministry sources insisted that the Centre was not time-bound to take a call on President’s rule by December 17, when the term of the incumbent assembly is due to expire, as the new assembly had been constituted and notified on December 10 itself. Constitutional expert Subhash C Kashyap agreed, saying that the process of constitution of assembly was separate from government formation. "Technically, Sheila Dikshit can continue as caretaker CM well beyond December 17, but, practically, it would make sense for the Centre to take a call on President’s rule in the next couple of days," he told TOI.MHA sources said that in case AAP does not come forward to stake claim in next few days, the home ministry would move a Cabinet note seeking imposition of President’s rule in Delhi. Once the Cabinet approves the same, the recommendation will go the President, who will then issue a Proclamation placing Delhi under President’s rule. This will pave the way for the LG to run Delhi’s affairs, until any party is willing to form the government.President’s rule can be imposed in a state for up to six months. Incidentally, the constitutional requirement of not having a gap of more than six months between two assembly sessions does not apply in the present case, as the condition is valid for the same assembly.
