As uncertainty loomed large over government formation in Delhi following a hung verdict, Congress on Tuesday first indicated its willingness to back the Aam Aadmi Party but later taunted it saying Arvind Kejriwal should join hands with BJP to fulfil his promises to the people.
The mixed signals started with AICC general secretary in charge for Delhi, Shakeel Ahmed stating,"A number of senior leaders of Delhi are of the opinion that we should give unconditional support to AAP to form a government. They believe that we should extend outside support to it.
"But we are talking to MLAs from the state. Their opinion is very important. Once we take their opinion, we will apprise the party high command about it".

BJP leader Arun Jaitley on Monday dared Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to form a government with Congress support and fulfil "unrealistic promises" instead of avoiding power where it will be like a "fish out of water".
Slamming Arvind Kejriwal's one-year-old party for making "unrealistic promises" during assembly elections in Delhi, the leader of the opposition in Rajya Sabha said it should fulfil its "exaggerated and unimplementable" manifesto.
On his latest Facebook posting, Jaitley sought to know if the AAP is merely a "freak phenomenon" or will be a lasting experiment. He said no clear answers could be given at the moment.

In elections seen as a "semifinal" before the 2014 Lok Sabha battle, the BJP retained Madhya Pradesh and ousted the Congress in Rajasthan. The Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) stunning show in Delhi pushed the Congress to a humiliating third spot, with the BJP looking set to take power despite lacking a clear majority.
The Congress and the BJP were in a cliffhanger neck and neck race in Chhattisgarh.
A humbled Congress, which had pitted its vice president Rahul Gandhi against the BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in the hectic election campaign, said it would "introspect" why it lost Rajasthan, was crushed in Delhi and why it couldn't dislodge the BJP in Madhya Pradesh.
"Our congratulations to those who have won in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan," said a despondent Congress leader Jayanthi Natarajan. "In Delhi, we accept the verdict and will examine the results. We will find out what has gone wrong."

All eyes will be on the fledgling Aam Aadmi Party as Delhiites vote on Wednesday in the assembly elections in which BJP is seeking to stop Congress from clinching a record fourth win.
The entry of Arvind Kejriwal's AAP has changed the dimension of the fight in the polls and it will be interesting to see whether the newbie will just be a "spoiler" or win some seats as predicted by opinion polls, riding on its anti-corruption plank.
The BJP had deployed a battery of top leaders including L K Advani, Narendra Modi, Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj and Nitin Gadkari who criss-crossed the entire city addressing scores of rallies asking people to "oust" the "corrupt" Congress dispensation.

BJP corporator Pramod Upadhyaya, who provided the furniture during the rally, said the latest bid that he has received is of Rs 4.21 lakh from a local dealer despite him refusing to sell the chair.
Upadhyaya, a BJP member of the Agra Municipal Corporation, said he had no intention to sell the chair and that he would like to keep the "coveted possession".

Was the poor turnout at Sunday's Rahul Gandhi rally a sign of Congress' waning popularity? The BJP is confident that it was an indication of people's mood. Almost every BJP event on Monday was rife with talks about the Congress "flop show", and how their PM candidate Narendra Modi was a much bigger crowd-puller.
Chief minister Sheila Dikshit told a news agency that Rahul's rally had less crowd because of strict security set up and police's refusal to allow people to carry water as they waited at the venue. "The security was very tight. People were not allowed to carry water bottle. So they may have been thirsty," Dikshit said. She also said people who had come early had to wait long and might have left before Rahul started his speech.
"Sheilaji is blaming it on lack of availability of drinking water. But the fact is that there is no water left in Congress party now. Sunday's rally has cleared all doubts about people's preference in the coming elections. BJP is coming to power with two third majority," said senior leader Nitin Gadkari at an event in which Congress member Trilok Chaudhary joined BJP.
Reacting to CM's clarification, BJP state president Vijay Goel said, "Dikshit is saying that people left the rally due to unavailability of water. I would like to tell her that the situation is same across the city and soon people will be forced to shift out of Delhi due to water scarcity."
Most stark attack on the rally came from Harsh Vardhan who said Rahul's body language shows that he is frustrated and disappointed, and is aware that his ship is sinking. "His speech indicates the possible defeat of his party in the upcoming elections. The so called future PM of Congress party, Shri Rahul Gandhi, made false and misleading statements during his rally," said Vardhan in an official statement.
