Bjp On Mcd Polls

The Supreme Court has questioned Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's "glaring hurry" in holding last week's election to the 18th and final seat of the city municipal corporation's Standing Committee, and stayed voting to pick a Chairman.

Ahead of the MCD mayor poll, AAP councillor from Dwarka C ward Sunita joined the BJP in presence of senior leaders of the Delhi unit on Monday.

As the voting for MCD standing committee carried on till late on Wednesday amid adjournments, the BJP accused AAP of cross voting in the election for the posts of mayor and deputy mayor which underwent earlier in the day.

A day before the MCD meeting to elect the city mayor, Delhi BJP leaders on Tuesday asserted that "anything can happen", hinting that the party was hopeful of springing a surprise despite AAP's majority.

The Supreme Court will today resume hearing the plea filed by Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) mayoral candidate Shelly Oberoi seeking early holding of the mayoral election for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

The Mayor could not be elected when the councillors met on January 6 and 24, and February 6, due to protests by the BJP and AAP after 10 MCD members nominated by the Lieutenant Governor were allowed to vote.

The first two sessions of the MCD House -- held on January 6 and January 24 -- were adjourned by the presiding officer following a ruckus between the members of the BJP and the AAP.
