New Delhi: Amid uncertainty over government formation in the city, Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay on Sunday said his party is “fully ready” to face fresh polls though many party MLAs are reluctant to go to polls again.

At the same time, he said the party will explore taking a shot at power and talk about the numbers once invited by the Lieutenant Governor.

After an hour-long meeting with Rajnath Singh, Mr Upadhyay said BJP was confident of getting a “clear majority” if polls are held afresh.

Mr Upadhyay briefed Mr Singh about party MLAs’ reluctance to go to polls again and told him that getting the numbers to form a government won’t be a major task.

Sources said that there was no consensus in the party on whether it sho-uld form a government or not and the final decision  has been left to Narendra Modi.
