According to an AAP functionary, “The tenure of the House will end on March 31, and as per rules, fresh elections including for the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, standing committee and ward elections, will take place in April.”
This is the fifth time that the MCD House has witnessed ruckus lately between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members. A councillor, Ashok Manu, collapsed and was rushed to a nearby hospital.
A poster war ensued between the AAP and BJP on social media following a ruckus during elections for the six-member standing committee in the MCD House a day before.
Amid political slugfest, the voting process to elect six members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is underway at the Civic Center in the national capital on Friday.
