Union Cabinet approves LG's report for dissolution of Delhi assembly
NEW DELHI: The Union Cabinet has accepted lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung's report recommending dissolution of the Delhi assembly, paving the way for holding of fresh polls in the national capital.
Earlier in the day, ending the eight-month-long political uncertainty, lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung had recommended to the President dissolution of the Delhi assembly as major players BJP, AAP and Congress have expressed "inability" to form government and preferred holding of polls.
Delhi has been under President's Rule since February after the AAP government quit after ruling for 49 days.
Welcoming the Cabinet's decision, Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay told Times Now that the party is ready for fresh elections.
"We will carry Haryana and Maharashtra's momentum to Delhi," Satish Upadhyay said. There is no lack of leadership in Delhi, we will fight Delhi assembly polls under collective leadership, he further added.
Sources in the lieutenant governor's office said Jung in his report to President Pranab Mukherjee mentioned that all three main political parties BJP, AAP and Congress expressed inability to form government and conveyed that they were ready to face fresh election.
With all the three main parties favouring fresh mandate, the LG recommended to the President dissolution of the assembly.

>>> What the voters in Delhi need more than the fresh elections is that the political parties fielding candidates in the elections, especially the leading ones (BJP, AAP and Congress), announce the names of their potential Chief Ministers (i.e. chief ministerial candidates) before the elections.
