Delhi mayor moves Supreme Court over election of MCD standing committee member

Hindustan Times  

Delhi mayor Shelly Oberoi on Sunday approached the Supreme Court to challenge the recent election of the sixth member of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi standing committee. A major contention highlighted in the petition is the decision to appoint an Indian Administrative Service officer as the presiding officer of the election, rather than the mayor, which the AAP has previously criticised. In an election that the AAP abstained from, the BJP won the last seat on the MCD standing committee on Friday. BJP leaders, including Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, have argued that the election was transparent and carried out in compliance with the applicable laws, asserting that the AAP’s boycott was an attempt to avoid a fair contest.
