The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) House was adjourned on Wednesday following a heated protest by BJP councillors who demanded the immediate holding of mayoral elections. The protest arose due to the ongoing delay in the appointment of a Dalit mayor, leading to disruptions and a stalemate in the House proceedings.
The BJP councillors, visibly agitated over the delay, stormed into the well of the House carrying posters and banners. They raised slogans demanding that the mayoral elections be conducted without further delay. The situation escalated as the BJP members insisted on their demand, leading to a chaotic scene within the House.
The delay in the appointment of a Dalit mayor has been a contentious issue, with various political parties expressing their viewpoints on the matter. The BJP, in particular, has been vocal in its opposition to the perceived delay, citing the importance of adhering to the scheduled timeline for the elections. The party has accused the ruling party of deliberately delaying the process to prevent the appointment of a Dalit mayor.
The adjournment of the House reflects the escalating tension and political maneuvering surrounding the mayoral elections. With the BJP demanding immediate action and the ruling party seemingly hesitant to proceed, the situation remains unresolved. The future course of action remains uncertain, with further protests and delays potentially impacting the smooth functioning of the MCD.
