Earlier, after the election of mayor and deputy mayor, the standing committee election got stuck due to uproar on Wednesday night. Aam Aadmi Party and BJP councilors pelted each other with kicks and punches and threw water bottles inside the House during the Standing Committee elections.
The Mayor has alleged that the BJP corporators attacked him as well. Senior AAP leader Saurabh Bhardwaj said the session will not end without elections. Even if the House continues for several days. The Standing Committee will also be made up of you. The Supreme Court has ordered the elections to be held in the first meeting itself. Whereas, the AAP councilors left the House at around one o’clock in the night, but the BJP councilors sat waiting for the mayor.
Actually, in the election of Mayor, Deputy Mayor, there was a ban on taking mobiles along with the members during voting. All the members also followed it. Both these elections were completed peacefully.
After this, the Mayor adjourned the proceedings of the House for an hour and said that as soon as he returns, he will start the election of the Standing Committee, but after a delay of about two hours, the Mayor returned to the Chair. During this, the councilors recited Hanuman Chalisa in the House and also sang patriotic songs. Jai Shri Ram, Jai Bajrang Bali were chanted in the house. BJP councilor Shikha Rai questioned Corporation Secretary Bhagwan Singh that Mayor Madam is returning to her chair, she has been missing for two hours. After about ten minutes, the mayor returned to the chair.
Shelly said… Kejri was shocked.
Regarding the ruckus, Shaili Oberoi said that according to the order of the Supreme Court, when the election of the standing committee was being conducted, then the BJP councilors tried to attack me! BJP’s hooliganism is such that they are trying to attack a woman mayor.
BJP Councilors just tried to attack me while I was conducting the Standing Committee elections, as per Supreme Court orders! This is the extent of BJP’s Gundagardi that they are trying to attack a woman Mayor.

Tutu-me-me…
Regarding the ruckus, R MLA Kuldeep Kumar said that BJP does not have the numbers, so it wants to form a standing committee by doing hooliganism. We are ready for elections on the directions of SC. Bottles were thrown at MCD House. The people of Delhi are seeing how the BJP wants to postpone the standing committee elections.
On the other hand, BJP corporator Arjun Pal Singh said that phone should not be allowed during ballot voting but phone was allowed and we opposed it. The Mayor accepted it, we demand that the voting be resumed when 50 people have already voted and taken photographs. We were threatened and attacked for protesting.
