Tensions Rise in MCD as BJP Councillors Disrupt Meeting

BJP and AAP Councillors Clash in MCD Meeting

Delhi Breaking News: The recent shift in power dynamics within the Delhi Assembly is now evident in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Following the BJP's ascension to power, their councillors have gained confidence, while members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are feeling disheartened after losing control for nearly ten years. During a meeting of the MCD on Monday, tensions escalated significantly between the two parties.

During the session, several BJP councillors climbed onto the mayor's podium, attempting to silence her by breaking her microphone.

Reasons Behind the Chaos in the Assembly

The MCD meeting saw AAP and BJP councillors hurling accusations at each other. AAP members protested against the Delhi government's failure to provide a pension of ₹2,500 to women and the lack of gas cylinders during Holi. In response, BJP councillors highlighted AAP's minority status, deeming their attempts to pass the agenda illegal. BJP leader Mukesh Goyal approached the AAP members, obstructing the agenda's passage.

BJP Councillors Disrupt the Mayor's Podium

In a dramatic turn, BJP councillors stood on benches and concealed the agenda beneath them to push through their proposals. They also climbed onto the mayor's podium, breaking her microphone and tearing up documents on her table. Following this disruption, the mayor attempted to restore order, but the situation remained tense as councillors from both parties continued to shout slogans against each other while exiting the assembly.
