Aam Aadmi party leader Arvind Kejriwal will meet Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung to discuss government formation on Saturday.

Jung has called Kejriwal to discuss government formation. The invitation came after the BJP declined the offer to form the government and said it will sit in the opposition.

Earlier, Congress on Friday sought to inject some life into government making in Delhi by offering unconditional support to Aam Aadmi Party which has so far expressed reluctance to take over reins of power.

Ahead of Lt Governor Najeeb Jung's meeting with Arvind Kejriwal, DPCC president J.P. Agarwal sent a letter to him offering support of its eight MLAs to the AAP so that a new government can be formed in the city.

However, AAP leader Prashant Bhushan immediately ruled out accepting the offer from Congress saying it was not in the business of giving or taking support.

On Thursday, BJP's chief ministerial candidate Harsh Vardhan met Jung and told him that his party would sit in the opposition as it has no clear majority in the 70-member house.

The BJP is single largest party with 31 seats followed by 28 of AAP and Congress at just 8.

AAP has maintained it will neither support nor take support from any party.
