Delhi BJP leaders, including party Councillors, MPs and MLAs, on Tuesday staged a protest near the AAP office here, accusing the party of disrupting the mayoral election in the MCD House meeting.
Leading the protest outside AAP headquarter on Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg, Delhi BJP working president Virendra Sachdeva alleged that the Arvind Kejriwal-led party was delaying the mayoral election because of an internal rift.
"The AAP councilors and leaders resorted to hooliganism and subverted constitutional norms inside the house. They snatched presiding officer's mike, created ruckus, climbed on the tables and hurt BJP female corporators and now they are saying that the mayoral election are not being held," Sachdeva said. The AAP need to give up "hooliganism" which is "ruining" Delhi, he added.
West Delhi MP Parvesh Verma slammed the AAP for opposing voting rights to the aldermen, saying that it was not written anywhere that they can not vote in the mayoral election.
Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri alleged that AAP councillors created "ruckus" in the MCD House at the behest of AAP convener and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Bidhuri questioned why AAP is running away from the Mayrol elections. Now they have moved to the Supreme Court, let the top court decides.
