New Delhi: Elections for the Delhi Mayor were on Tuesday postponed again after the House was adjourned sine die following a ruckus between Aam Aadmi Party and Bharatiya Janata Party councillors.
The House was adjourned without electing the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, after Presiding Officer Satya Sharma said the proceedings cannot be conducted amid sloganeering from both AAP and BJP councillors.
Proceedings of the House began today nearly three weeks after the process to elect the new Mayor was aborted on 6 January following unpleasant scenes between the AAP and the BJP.
All 250 councilors and 10 nominated members completed the oath-taking process before a break was announced. After the break, there was a commotion between AAP and BJP councillors.
Earlier visuals showed heavy presence of marshals inside the House. Sharing a video, AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said: "Today BJP has brought force with sticks to take possession of Municipal Corporation. Have you seen this in any House?" ( with Agency inputs)
