Earlier during the mayoral elections in January, the country's people witnessed how AAP created a ruckus in the house. If they have numbers and a majority then why they are doing this? Gupta said.

Meanwhile, BJP's mayor candidate alleged that for cross-voting many big leaders of AAP approached our 10 councillors.
Responding to reporters' questions about whether the mayoral elections will be concluded peacefully or not Rekha said, "From our (BJP) side, we will try that election concludes peacefully."
Notably, Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, VK Saxena on Wednesday approved February 6 to hold the election of Mayor, Deputy Mayor and the six-Member Standing Committee. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia had proposed the election date.
Earlier on January 6 and January 24 the mayoral elections at the MCD House were postponed after a clash erupted between AAP and BJP councillors.
