New Delhi: The election to the post of Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) mayor, deputy mayor and six members of the standing committee will be held on February 16. Delhi LG VK Saxena has accepted the proposal sent by the government.
The proposal to hold the House session was sent by Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal.
On Saturday, government nominees, including AAP leader Jasmine Shah, appointed to the boards of power discoms in Delhi by the Arvind Kejriwal-led dispensation, were replaced with senior officials.
Besides Shah, a spokesperson of the AAP, those removed from the boards include Naveen Gupta, son of AAP MP ND Gupta, and other private persons “illegally” appointed as ‘government nominees’, they claimed.
The ruling Aam Aadmi Party termed the LG’s orders removing Shah and Gupta from the boards of discoms “illegal and unconstitutional”.
The LG does not have the power to issue such orders, it claimed.
