NEW DELHI:

"I, along with the BJP MPs from Delhi and our newly-elected 48 MLAs, wish to meet you at an early date. Please allow an appointment at your earliest convenience," the letter that Sachdeva sent, read.

A party leader issued a clarification that the meeting was not to stake claim to power, which is expected to happen next week.

Further, several BJP winning candidates paid a courtesy visit to the LG on Sunday.

The delegation that visited Saxena included Parvesh Verma, who defeated AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal in the New Delhi constituency, Bijwasan MLA Kailash Gahlot, and Arvind Singh Lovely, who has been elected from Gandhi Nagar.
