Following a ruckus in the house that prevented the Municipal Corporation of Delhi from electing a six-member standing committee, Aam Aadmi Party Councillor and Mayor Shelly Oberoi claimed on Friday that BJP Councillors dragged her chair and pushed her.
After yet another tense session in the MCD house, Mayor Shelly Oberoi went to the Kamla Market Police Station to file a FIR against BJP councillors. She requested that police officers protect her. Shelly Oberoi stated that standing committee elections were held in response to BJP demands.
“Still, they created a ruckus and came up on stage to attack me. I thank female Civil Defence personnel for saving me. BJP members physically assaulted AAP female members. BJP accept your defeat,” she said.
It was the third day of commotion in the House.
BJP and AAP members resorted to punches, jostling and rained blows at each other over the results of the election to the six-member standing committee. The unruly scenes erupted after Mayor Shelly Oberoi declared one vote invalid.
“As soon as the voting was taking place, the BJP Councillors clearly sensed that they were losing. That’s why they stormed the session. As soon as I was about to announce the result, the BJP Councillors, especially Arjun Marwah, Chandan Chaudhary, and Ravi Negi came to the stage. Chaudhary dragged my chair and pushed me. I ran for my life,” Shelly said.
“Our female Civil Defence Staff saved my life,” she said, terming Friday’s day as unfortunate.
She also alleged that the BJP “deliberately” created a ruckus for over 2.5 months to stall the MCD meeting and run the house unconstitutionally.
“BJP every time created a ruckus during the standing committe election. That’s why today I am here to register a police complaint,” she said.
“I have requested SHO to file an FIR against the BJP councillors, especially those three, and provide me protection,” she added.
Earlier, a councillor collapsed at Delhi Civic Centre as clashes broke out here between AAP and BJP councillors on Friday.
Ruckus broke out at Delhi Civic Centre once again as AAP and BJP Councillors jostled, manhandled and rained blows on each other. This is the third day of commotion in the House.
