New Delhi: Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde Tuesday said the government had not got any recommendation from Lt Governor Najeeb Jung to impose President's rule in Delhi following a hung verdict.
With just eight seats in the 70-member Delhi assembly, the Congress had little role to play in government formation, he told the media.
Asked about the possibility of President's rule, he said: "We have not received any communication from the Lt Governor."
The BJP won 31 to emerge as the largest party in the Delhi assembly. The Aam Aadmi Party has come second with 28 seats. Leaders of both the BJP and AAP have said their party was prepared to sit in the opposition.
