SC asks BJP, Congress if they would form Delhi government

"If suspended animation continues for one year.. then in a peculiar situation it would be harmful to the democracy," observed Justice Lodha as he asked Nariman why defection was being seen as the only basis for the formation of any future government in Delhi.

He said that there could be a possibility where one party is forming government with another's support.

Pointing to the prevailing political situation, Justice Lodha said the Nationalist Congress Party was supporting Congress-led UPA government at the central level whereas the same party was sitting in opposition to Congress in some northeastern states.

Referring to the sequence of events that happened in Delhi assembly, Justice Lodha said that "the way thing have happened in Delhi assembly, noting is impossible.

Two parties (Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party) which can't meet at one platform can still meet at another platform (on not allowing the introduction of Jan Lokpal Bill) and still on another issue (passage of demand for grants), all are on the same page".
