"Under suspended animation there is no need for immediate election. Assembly does not get dissolved. MLAs continue to get salary and privileges. But the House is not convened. The L-G has the option to explore the possibility of government formation. If the L-G feels he can recommend election anytime," said former Delhi Assembly Secretary S.K. Sharma.
President's Rule will come into effect after promulgation of a notification by President Pranab Mukherjee. It has to be then endorsed by Parliament through a resolution under Article 356 of the Constitution. The Delhi Congress backed the decision of the Union Cabinet. Party general secretary Shakeel Ahmed said: "We have already said whatever decision the L-G will take, we will abide by that. The ball was in the L-G's court. He has information from different quarters. He is the best judge of the situation," he said.
President's Rule keeps the option open for any political party or a combination of parties to try and form a government.
The L-G has also sent, along with his report, the resignation letter of Arvind Kejriwal. The letter would be forwarded to the President for acceptance.
