AAP demonstrates outside BJP HQ in Delhi over mayor's election; several detained
Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday staged a demonstration at the BJP headquarters against the postponement of the election for the mayor of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. According to an official statement, over a dozen AAP MLAs and volunteers, including MLAs Rakhi Birla and Ajay Dutt, along with mayoral candidate Mahesh Khichi were detained by the police during the protest. The AAP accused the BJP of «conspiring» with the Lt Governor VK Saxena to «cancel» the mayoral elections fearing the win of the AAP candidate in the polls.
The AAP alleged that the BJP wanted to stop a person from the Dalit community from becoming the Mayor of Delhi.
A large number of people from the Dalit community from across Delhi participated in the demonstration and accused the BJP of being anti-Dalit. The protesters also raised «Jai Bhim» and anti-Modi slogans.
