on Tuesday met Lt Governor Najeeb Jung and urged him to dissolve the Delhi Assembly and consider holding fresh elections.

Kejriwal after a meeting with Jung said: "I have met the Lt Governor and requested him to consider conducting elections in Delhi immediately, to which he said that he would consider."

Earlier the Supreme Court had said given two weeks to both the BJP and the Congress to form the government in the capital, following which the BJP even hinted that it may form the government in the capital after the Lok Sabha elections.

Kejriwal on the other hand said that both the BJP and the Congress had not shown any interest in having fresh elections which raised doubts on their intentions.
