Congress offers to prop up AAP government in Delhi

The Congress told Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung Friday that it was ready to support an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government to end a political logjam in Delhi.

A Congress source told IANS that all eight legislators of the party were ready to back the AAP, which has been invited by Jung Saturday to explore the possibility of forming a government.

The AAP finished with 28 seats in the 70-member assembly, just behind the Bharatiya Janata Party's 31, leaving Delhi with a hung house. The BJP Thursday said it will not form a government.
