‘Budget unconstitutional’: BJP on Delhi civic meet; ‘BJP did not ask for count’: AAP

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi Councillors confront one another in the MCD budget meeting on Wednesday. The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday claimed that the MCD budget presented by the Aam Aadmi Party was unconstitutional as the AAP was not in majority, whereas the AAP said that the BJP, over the past month, never formally insisted on taking a count and that the leader of Opposition Leader of Opposition Raja Iqbal Singh, of the BJP, said: “As soon as the house meeting started, we approached the dais and urged mayor Mahesh Khichi to count the number of councillors according to the party, because the AAP was in the minority. To be sure, the AAP became a minority in the house due to a series of defections to the BJP on February 15, a week since the latter’s resounding win in the Delhi Assembly elections. In a press conference, leader of the house Mukesh Goel said that despite being defeated by the people of Delhi, the BJP sought to take control of the MCD by “hook or crook”. “They should talk to the chief minister and get ₹14,000 crore from the Delhi government to clear all liabilities.” MCD officials acknowledged that the BJP did not officially ask for division of votes during house meetings over the last month.
