Fear Of Defeat Troubling Them: Delhi BJP Working President Blames AAP For Ruckus In MCD House
Virendra Sachdeva accused Aam Aadmi Party of breaking the decorum of the MCD house.
Delhi BJP is protesting at many places across Delhi over the chaos that hit the MCD House on its first sitting. State Working President Virendra Sachdeva also held a demonstration with the party workers at Delhi's ITO.
Accusing the Aam Aadmi Party of breaking the decorum of the House, Sachdeva said that the fear of defeat is troubling him.
“No rule has been broken anywhere, whatever is happening is happening according to the constitution and the Municipal Corporation Act. Since the Aam Aadmi Party is afraid of defeat, they are creating such an atmosphere,” he said.
The development comes amid the ongoing contention between the Delhi BJP and AAP over the appointment of Presiding Officer by the LG to conduct mayoral elections.
Delhi LG vs CM
The office of the LG on Tuesday denied giving time to CM Arvind Kejriwal for an urgent meeting. It came after LG himself asked Kejriwal to meet him to discuss certain governance issues.
Notably, Delhi LG Vinay Saxena on Monday invited CM Kejriwal to discuss certain governance-related matters. Soon after, the Delhi CM asked for an appointment on Tuesday to which the LG office said that the latter is busy till 4 PM, Friday.
The office added that LG Saxena can meet Kejriwal only after Friday evening.
Delhi Mayor Election Controversy
On the very first day of the MCD house, the LG appointed BJP’s Satya Sharma pro tem speaker to hold the mayoral elections. AAP accused him of surpassing its recommendations and ‘illegally nominating’ BJP leaders as alderman.
Delhi police on Monday used water cannon on Bharatiya Janata Party workers who were protesting outside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence against violence in MCD House on 6 January, as reported by the news agency ANI.
