AAP to move Supreme Court on MCD panel poll: Atishi; BJP hits back

Hindustan Times  

Delhi chief minister Atishi on Saturday said that the Aam Aadmi Party will move the Supreme Court against the “illegal, unconstitutional and undemocratic” election of the sixth member of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi standing committee held on Friday. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said that MCD assured the high court in an affidavit that the formation of the standing committee would be completed by the last week of September. Atishi should know that under Section 45 of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, whose provisions she is now citing, the formation of the standing committee is mandatory. The chief minister should immediately ensure the appointment of a Dalit mayor and the chairperson of the standing committee to honour the spirit of the Municipal Corporation Act, and protect the rights of the people of Delhi and Dalits,” said Sachdeva.
