Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, meanwhile, attacked the BJP-led central government over the Adani issue in his Lok Sabha address on Tuesday and asked how his wealth increased exponentially since 2014. Rahul, who recently concluded his Bharat Jodo Yatra, said he heard only one name – Adani – across states during his yatra. Meanwhile, BJP and AAP continued to clash over the Delhi mayor election issue, with workers of both parties holding a protest outside each other’s party offices in the national capital on Tuesday. MCD House was adjourned for a third time in a month without completing the poll process. In light of this, the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday blamed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and said it was resorting to excuses to stall the mayoral election.
Whereas, AAP leader Atishi on Monday said the party will move the Supreme Court to challenge the BJP’s decision of giving voting rights to the aldermen.
To this, BJP Working President Virendra Sachdeva, MPs, MLA, Councilors, and other senior leaders will protest at the AAP office on Tuesday at 11 am. AAP will also protest against the BJP at 11 am. The first two sessions of the MCD House were held on January 6 and January 24, respectively, and were adjourned by the presiding officer without electing a mayor. The sessions were marred by the ruckus and acrimonious exchanges among the members of the BJP and AAP.
