| All eyes are now on Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung a day after Arvind Kejriwal quit as chief minister, plunging Delhi into the throes of political uncertainty.
Mr Kejriwal handed over his resignation to Mr Jung along with the recommendation for dissolution of the assembly and holding of fresh elections after his pet anti-graft Jan Lokpal Bill was blocked by the Congress and the BJP in the state legislature. (Read)
As Delhi enjoys a special status of being a Union Territory, the Lieutenant Governor, who is Delhi's constitutional head, is not bound to act as per the outgoing chief minister's advice and is likely to weigh all options before sending his report to the President.
Mr Kejriwal's AAP government has already been asked to run a caretaker government in Delhi for the next few days as an interim arrangement.
"He feels it will take five to six days i.e. till Wednesday or Thursday, the decision will be made," AAP leader Manish Sisodia said yesterday. (Read)
With the Kejriwal government on its way out, the Lieutenant Governor is now faced with three scenarios.
First, Mr Jung could recommend keeping the assembly under suspended animation wherein the Lieutenant Governor steps in to take charge of Delhi's administration in consultation with his senior advisors. The Union Cabinet will have to take the final call in this regard and recommend it to the President for his approval.
