BJP 'illegally overpowered' MCD House: Kejriwal slams standing committee poll
The Morning Standard|September 28, 2024
REACTING to the BJP's victory in the Friday polls for the last vacant seat of the standing committee, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal alleged that the saffron party had "illegally overpowered" the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and stolen the mandate.
BJP 'illegally overpowered' MCD House: Kejriwal slams standing committee poll

The councillors of the ruling AAP and Congress boycotted the elections. With the final results, the BJP now has 10 members in the panel, while the ruling AAP has only eight.

The elections were full of controversies. On Thursday, Mayor Shelly Oberoi postponed them over ruckus in the House. However, the same day, L-G VK Saxena overturned the Mayor's decision and sought a report on the postponement.

The elections were then scheduled for 1 p.m. on Friday.

Addressing the Delhi Assembly, Kejriwal said that according to rules, only the Mayor can convene a meeting of the MCD House, but the lieutenant governor changed it and directed an additional commissioner of the civic body to do it.

"Is this election?" he posed and accused the BJP of resorting to "hooliganism".
