Kejriwal attacks lg and bjp on MCD Standing Committee election…
bjp candidate Sundar Singh has been declared victorious in the delhi Municipal Corporation (MCD) Standing Committee election. 115 votes were cast in Sundar Singh's favour while zero votes were cast against him. Meanwhile, AAP's national convenor arvind kejriwal has launched a scathing attack on the bjp on this issue. He said that only the mayor has the right to call a meeting of the House.
arvind kejriwal said in the delhi Assembly, "The people of delhi elected a mayor. The people here elected councillors. The people of delhi elected MCD, delhi Municipal Corporation and told them to run the delhi Municipal Corporation. It is written in the delhi Municipal Corporation law that the mayor has the right to preside over the House. lg has passed an order today that now the Additional Commissioner will preside over the House."
These people have destroyed democracy - Kejriwal
The AAP leader further said, "They will remove you tomorrow. Tomorrow they will remove the lok sabha Speaker as well. They will also write there that the home Secretary will preside over the lok sabha, the Defense Secretary will now preside over the Rajya Sabha. What is happening in this country? Is this why the freedom fighters of our country lost their lives? These people have destroyed democracy.''
There is a rule of giving a 72-hour notice - Arvind Kejriwal
arvind kejriwal said sarcastically, ''LG will run delhi and the Additional Commissioner will preside over the Municipal Corporation. It is written in the law that only the Mayor has the right to call a meeting of the body's house. When the meeting will be called, on which day and at what time, the Mayor will decide this. It is written in it that a 72-hour notice will be given. They issued the notice last night. He further said that they have no power under the law. Neither the Commissioner nor the lg has any power. They have created hooliganism. It is written in it that the notice will be sent to everyone's house, but the notice did not reach anyone. Today they have stolen the MCD, which is in front of the whole country. We strongly condemn this.
