After full-blown chaos, MCDs Standing Committee to be re-elected on Monday #IndiaNEWS #National
New Delhi, Feb 24 (IANS) Following ruckus for the third straight day, the House of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was on Friday adjourned till Monday morning with Mayor Shelly Oberoi announcing that re-election to pick the Standing Committee members will be held at 11 am on February 27.
All hell broke loose on Friday after Oberoi stalled the recounting of votes for electing the members of the all-powerful MCD Standing Committee following objections raised by AAP.
It was free for all in the MCD House with BJP and AAP councillors trading blows at each other, showing scant disregard for the sanctity of the House.
Protesting against the Mayors decision to stall the recounting process, BJP councillors started breaking mikes, tearing ballot papers and even damaged the polling booths amid sloganeering.
The poll to elect the members of the Standing Committee will be held on February 27, Oberoi said amid sloganeering by councillors from both sides in the House.
Today is a most unfortunate day. The Houses reputation was not taken care of. Before the Standing Committee election, we heard BJPs demands and made sure that they were met. But when the counting started and they (BJP) realised that they are losing, BJP councillors created a ruckus, Oberoi said while addressing the media after the House was adjourned.
They have not just targeted me, but other women councillors were also targeted. They are not just disrespecting the House, but the Chair of the Mayor too. Today, I want to appeal to the BJP to accept defeat, said Oberoi.
AAP leader Atishi said, I appeal to the BJP to accept the mandate of the people of Delhi. The people have thrown them away and let AAP run the show. If the Mayor is not safe, how can the other women feel safe?
On BJPs allegations, Atishi showed a video and said, You can see all the videos chronologically and youll see who started the ruckus. AAP councillors who were standing up, I was trying to back them off. After this presser, we will go to the Kamla Market police station and file an FIR against the BJP for the murder attempt on a women councillor of AAP.
Oberoi later tweeted: Requested an urgent appointment with the @DelhiPolice Commissioner tomorrow regarding the attack on me by BJP Councillors in the MCD House.
Earlier, Oberoi had said while stalling the recounting process that one party is ready for the process, while the other is not.
So I am stopping the recounting process, Oberoi said.
