A day after BJP registered an impressive showing in Haryana and Maharastra Assembly polls, the Delhi unit of the party said the political uncertainty in the national capital must end soon and that it was "fully" ready to face fresh election immediately.
Delhi BJP Chief Satish Upadhyay said there has been a groundswell of support for the party across the country and it was ready to face polls in the city even tomorrow. "We are fully ready to face the election. We are prepared even to go to the polls tomorrow. We are confident that if election is held, BJP will get a very clear mandate," he said. Seeking end to political uncertainty in Delhi, he said development work has been affected to a great extent in absence of an elected government. Delhi has been under President's Rule since February 17 after the Aam Aadmi Party government quit.
"Uncertainty must end. There should be an elected government in Delhi as soon as possible. How long bureaucrats will run the city?" he asked. On Sunday, Delhi BJP General Secretary Ramesh Bidhuri had said the party will not form government even if Lt Governor Najeeb Jung invites it to take the reins as it prefers going to polls. The Lt Governor last month had sent a report to President Pranab Mukherjee seeking permission to invite BJP to form government in Delhi.
In the report, Jung gave a detailed analysis of the political situation and underlined the need to have an elected government in the city which is under central rule following resignation of the Arvind Kejriwal-led government after 49 days in power. The Centre is likely to respond to the Lt Governor's letter after Diwali. BJP has been maintaining that it will take a decision on government formation in Delhi after getting an invite from the Lt Governor.
