Giving a new twist to government formation in Delhi, Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday set some new conditions for Congress and BJP before it can decide on forming a government, a move seen as attempts to fob off criticism that it was running away from taking responsibility.
Delhi lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung, whom AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal met, has said he will send a report to the President, an indication that he would tell the Centre that government formation will not be possible now.
Earlier, Kejriwal had given to Jung the copies of the letters he had written to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and BJP president Rajnath Singh seeking their views on a list of 18 issues that included ending VIP culture in the capital, audit of electricity companies and removal of MLA local funds scheme.

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.
