The Bharatiya Janata Party workers protested in Delhi on Saturday against the Aam Aadmi Party, accusing them of hooliganism during the elections for Delhi's Mayor on Friday.
Councillors of the two parties came to blows on Friday inside the municipal house leading to the session being adjourned without the election of a Mayor.
The BJP and AAP accused each other of assaulting its councillors in a scuffle that broke out in the MCD House on Friday, with the AAP alleging that the BJP made the alderman take oath first to get them voting rights for the election to Mayor and Deputy Mayor.
Meanwhile, the BJP has claimed the AAP counsellors had come prepared to disrupt the oath of the aldermen and they assaulted BJP councillors including women.
The maiden meeting of the newly elected MCD was adjourned without electing the mayor and the deputy mayor amid loud protests by AAP councillors over administering of oath to the 10 aldermen – the unelected members of the house.
The next date for the convening of the house will be announced later, BJP councillor Satya Sharma, the presiding officer overseeing the process, had earlier said.
