Mayor physically assaulted by male BJP corporators: AAP MLA
Aam Aadmi Party’s MLA Atishi said – In the MCD house, the Bharatiya Janata Party presented a sample of its hooliganism and its rhetoric. Our Mayor was brutally attacked. He had to run away from the house after saving his life. She went out of the house. Then the male councilors of BJP physically assaulted her.
At the time of counting, when they realized that they were going to lose by one vote, they (BJP corporators) started the attack. The whole country is ashamed to see this hooliganism of the BJP. BJP people stop your hooliganism. Respect democracy. Accept the mandate. The woman mayor has been attacked, we will take legal action in this matter.
AAP was dishonest: BJP MLA

Why is there so much ruckus on the Standing Committee of MCD
Standing Committee is the most powerful in MCD. This committee looks after the functioning and management of the corporation. Apart from this, the work of financial approval of projects, discussion and finalization of policies before implementation is also in the hands of this committee. That is, this committee is the main decision-making body of the corporation.
The Standing Committee consists of 18 members. This committee consists of a chairperson and a deputy chairperson. They are elected from among the members of the Standing Committee. 6 members are directly elected in MCD house after mayor election. MCD in Delhi is divided into 12 zones. Each zone has a ward committee consisting of all councilors and nominated aldermen of the area. There are also zone representatives in the Standing Committee. In such a situation, if BJP loses here too, then it will have nothing left in MCD.
During the voting, BJP and Aam Aadmi Party councilors raised slogans against each other.
