AAP and BJP Blame Each Other for Starting MCD House Row; The BJP will demonstrate on Saturday

[ad_1]

The BJP and the AAP have accused each other of assaulting their councilors in a fight that broke out at the MCD house on Friday, with the AAP alleging that the BJP had sworn in the alderman first to give them the right to vote for the election of mayor and deputy mayor. .

Meanwhile, the BJP claimed that the AAP councilors were ready to disrupt the aldermen’s oath and that they assaulted BJP councilors, including women.

The first meeting of the newly elected MCD adjourned without electing the mayor and deputy mayor amid loud protests from AAP councilors over the swearing in of 10 aldermen, the unelected members of the house.

The next date for convening the chamber will be announced later, BJP adviser Satya Sharma, the president overseeing the process, said earlier.

Senior AAP official Atishi said he would file a complaint against the BJP for attacking AAP advisers.

“The injured counselors are taken to Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital for treatment. It is unconstitutional and we asked the secretary to adjourn the House. In order to please the BJP, the Lieutenant Governor should not break the rules,’ Atishi told PTI.

AAP councilor Praveen Kumar, who was injured in the hand, claimed he was attacked by BJP MPs in the house when he objected to the aldermen being sworn in before MPs. ”They tore my clothes. It was a deadly attack. We were just protesting that the aldermen were sworn in first. But they attacked us,” Kumar said.

AAP national spokesman Saurabh Bhardwaj also said the Aam Aadmi party would get a registered FIR for the alleged attacks on its advisers.

“Even after so much effort, not even a single AAP counselor changed sides. This is why the BJP was unfairly voting 10 appointed councilors. They (the BJP) are even able to say that tomorrow the prime minister and the interior minister will also vote in the mayoral election,” Bhardwaj said. The AAP alleged that 13 of its advisers were injured in the scuffle.

AAP leader Dilip Pandey alleged that the BJP was “destroying” the country’s constitution and democracy by “taking control” of society through “hooliganism”. ”In Delhi MCD, the BJP tried every dirty trick and failed – from demarcating and postponing elections to using their friendly uncle’s office to boost the numbers. Their last resort is hooliganism, which you can now see on your TV screens,’ AAP chief Raghav Chadha said.

In a press conference attended by party MPs Meenakshi Lekhi, Manoj Tiwari and Parvesh Verma, the BJP alleged that its female advisers had been “assaulted” and attacked by AAP advisers.

The leaders said 6-7 BJP advisers were injured during the meeting.

Vikram Mittal, Co-Head of Delhi BJP Media Relations Cell, also said that BJP’s Sharad Kapoor and Kusum Lata had undergone a medical examination, and their MLC (medico-legal cases) report stated that Kapoor had a broken leg.

Lekhi alleged that the disruption of the AAP advisers was premeditated.

The AAP in turn said the oath to aldermen was a BJP ploy to give them the right to vote.

Incumbent Delhi BJP chairman Virendra Sachdeva, who was at the RML hospital where party advisers were being treated, said the party would file a complaint with the police over the matter.

BJP leaders including Sachdeva and Delhi Assembly opposition leader Ramvir Bidhuri will take part in a protest outside the Mahatma Gandhi memorial, Rajghat, on Saturday morning against alleged hooliganism by AAP advisers in MCD House.

In the December 2022 MCD polls, the AAP ended the BJP’s 15-year rule in the MCD, winning 134 out of 250 wards overall. The BJP managed to win 104 districts.
