The Fourth Legislative Assembly of Delhi was constituted in Oct 2008 after the 2008 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections.[1]
Election and government formation
Total seven national parties, eight state parties, fifty-three registered (unrecognised) parties and other independent candidates contested for 70 assembly seats.
With 43 seats, INC emerged as the single largest party, much ahead of the required half way mark to form the government. Congress was followed by BJP with 23 seats. Being the single largest party, INC approached the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Tejendra Khanna and made claim to form a government. INC hence formed the government with Sheila Dixit as the Chief Minister.[1][2]
