New Delhi: The counting of votes to a key election in the Delhi Civic Body resulted in a hand-to-hand fight between the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP.
The BJP objected to one vote being made invalid. The Mayor insisted the result of the Standing Committee election, which is understood to be the most powerful body in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, will be declared without the invalid vote.
The decision resulted in a street fight inside the house, with the elected councillors punching, and kicking each other.
