Kejriwal slams Lt Gov for not dissolving House

“Aam aadmi Party (AAP) also wants this and even the BJP has favoured re-election today. I dont know on what basis Najeeb Jung has taken this decision.

“This decision is completely wrong because any recommendation by an elected government is normally binding (on the Lt Governor),” Kejriwal said.

He claimed that the decision to recommend dissolution of the House was of a majority government.  “Ours was not a minority government. Before resignation, we had got passed a Money bill in the assembly. This means ours was a majority government.

“If a majority government recommends something then it is mandatory for the Governor to accept the recommendations,” he added.

He alleged that the decision was taken because the Congress did not want fresh elections. However, when asked whether the Lt Governor was acting at the behest of the Congress, he denied it.
