Hindustan Times|January 30, 2024

Chaos in MCD House as AAP, BJP fight over crucial panel

The protest ensured that the House could not discuss any proposals listed for the day. Amid the pandemonium, the House rushed through 25 policy proposal, of which seven were postponed, two were rejected, and the remaining 16 were cleared by a voice vote.

The BJP councillors were protesting against mayor Shelly Oberoi's petition filed before the Supreme Court on Sunday, in which she sought the court to temporarily transfer the powers of the standing committee to the house of councillors. The 18-member standing committee is the powerful panel of the civic body that controls the purse strings of the MCD. The formation of standing committee and other key panels in the MCD remained a sticking point between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the opposition BJP for the past over one year.

The matter is pending adjudication before the Supreme Court, where the AAP has challenged the appointment of 10 aldermen by Delhi's lieutenant governor.
