Posted on 7th Jan 2023 01:53 pm by rohit kumar

The election of the Mayor, Deputy Mayor of MCD in Delhi could not be held on Friday. The House was adjourned after the heavy uproar. Now Aam Aadmi Party and BJP have come to the streets and are protesting against each other. AAP workers are protesting outside the office of LG VK Saxena. AAP MLA Atishi has demanded that the BJP and Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena state in writing that the nominated members will not vote.

 

At the same time, BJP workers are protesting at Rajghat. They say that the AAP councilors have abused the female presiding officer. A chair is thrown at him. BJP has demanded from LG that the strictest legal action should be taken against such AAP leaders.

 

A scuffle between AAP and BJP councilors in the House

The swearing-in of the councilors was to begin at 11 am on Friday, but as soon as the pro-tem speaker first started administering the oath to the nominated members, the members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) started protesting. Due to this BJP councilors also started raising slogans against him. There was a push and a scuffle between the two sides. AAP councilors climbed on the seat of the pro tem speaker. During this, some councilors were seen lifting the chair and slamming it. Some fell due to the shock. Some got hurt.

 

Now know... where the controversy starts

LG appoints BJP corporator Satya Sharma as pro tem speaker for the mayoral election. Earlier, AAP had proposed the name of Mukesh Goyal. AAP objected to Satya's name. After this, as soon as Protem Speaker Satya started administering oaths to the nominated members of LG, AAP started protesting and shouting slogans.

 

The Aam Aadmi Party says that the nominated members are not sworn in first, but the BJP is changing the tradition. BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi said that AAP leaders are not aware of the rules. That's why they are creating a ruckus. Why fear when they are in majority? You MPs do the same thing in the Rajya Sabha.

 

On the other hand, Congress decided not to participate in the mayoral election. AAP MLA Atishi has accused the Congress of favoring the BJP after she decided not to contest the polls. 273 members will vote in the Mayor's election. A figure of 133 is needed for a majority. AAP has 150 votes while BJP has 113 votes.

 

LG's side came, 10 nominated members under the Act

A statement came from the office of Delhi's LG VK Saxena. It said that 10 people have been nominated under the Delhi Municipal Corporation 1957 Act. It has been said in this act that people who have experience or knowledge of municipal corporations can nominate them as LG. Their age should be more than 25 years. These members cannot vote in the election for mayor or deputy mayor.

 

AAP alleges assault and assault on BJP leaders

MP Sanjay Singh said that the nominated members are not sworn in first, but the BJP is changing the tradition. His people are killing our councilors inside the house. Sanjay questioned that if the people of Delhi defeated the BJP in the elections, would their leaders take the lives of our people?

 

BJP said - pulled the hair of our women councilors

BJP MP Pravesh Verma said that today is the darkest day in the history of MCD. AAP councilors drunkenly beat up BJP women councilors in the House. Attacked with sharp objects and pulled hair. He was also abused dirty.

 

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari said that our party is in power at the Center and our numbers in MCD are decent. Despite this, hooliganism is happening to us. The AAP has made the House a hooliganism arena because they fear that their corporators will not support the Mayor's voting.

 

A contest between AAP's candidate style and BJP's line

AAP's Aadmi Party has fielded Shelly Oberoi for mayor, while Rekha Gupta is in the fray from the BJP. Whereas, AAP has nominated Mohammad Iqbal and BJP has nominated Kamal Bagdi for Deputy Mayor.

 

3 color ballot papers will be used in the election

The color code has been fixed for this election. White, green, and pink colored ballot papers will be used. In this, votes will be cast for mayor with a white ballot paper. The green ballot paper will be used for the deputy mayor's election and the pink ballot paper for the standing committee members.

 

AAP has majority

273 members will vote in the Mayor's election. A figure of 138 is needed for a majority. In the absence of Congress, a figure of 133 is needed. AAP has 134 councilors. Apart from this, there are 3 Rajya Sabha MPs and 13 MLAs. BJP has a total of 113 votes including 7 MPs and 1 MLA. There, there are 9 councilors of Congress and two councilors of Independents. In this election, 250 councilors along with 10 MPs (7 Lok Sabha MPs and 3 Rajya Sabha MPs), and 13 assembly members will vote.

 

Congress bid – If AAP gets a majority then Kejriwal should be made its mayor

Delhi Congress President Anil Chaudhary said that the people of Delhi have supported the Aam Aadmi Party. Respecting the public, we will not contest the election of the mayor, deputy mayor, and standing committee. If AAP gets the majority then make Kejriwal his mayor and serve the people of Delhi.
