Aam Aadmi Party:-
New Delhi: Even before the Aam Aadmi Party could form the government in Delhi with Congress supporting it from outside, divisions within the latter over the strategy have come out in the open. Government formation in Delhi may take some more time, as sources say that the Congress is seriously considering the possibility of not extending support to the Aam Aadmi Party pushing Delhi towards the President's Rule.
The political uncertainty over Delhi deepened as Congress on Tuesday said that the party is divided over the outside support given to the AAP and some of its leaders feel that it would have been better if the party had sat in the Opposition. "The mandate was not for Congress, may be we should sit in the Opposition," party General Secretary Janardhan Dwivedi said.

"There is an opinion in the Congress that perhaps the decision to support AAP for government formation is not correct. Perhaps we should have played the role of opposition and raised people's issues," Dwivedi added.
Congress workers had on Monday protested at the party office in Delhi over its decision to give support to the AAP. The protesters raised slogans 'Anna ke sath dhokha, hum nahi denge Kejriwal ko mauka (Anna betrayed, we won't give a chance to Kejriwal) while demanding the immediate withdrawal of Congress support to AAP.

AAP on Monday ended the 15-day long speculation over the next government in Delhi by staking claim and announcing Kejriwal as the Chief Minister designate. Kejriwal is likely to take oath on December 26 at Ramlila Maidan, the nerve centre of the Anna Hazare-led anti-corruption agitation in 2011.
The decision came after a 5-day long exercise in which the party returned to the electorate with an unofficial referendum on whether to form a government or not.

AAP which had won 28 seats in the 70-member Assembly was the second party that met Lieutenant General Najeeb Jung to stake claim after the Bharatiya Janta Party which had won 32 seats refused to form the government due to lack of a majority.
If the Congress takes back its support from AAP than Delhi will be put under President's Rule as BJP, which has won 32 seats in the recent assembly elections, had declined to form the government in state. If this turns into reality, this could bring more trouble for the Congress, which is already facing trust deficit within the public.
