Fight Over Mayor Poll Continues...
New Delhi: On Monday, the ongoing face-off between the Political parties (BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party) over Delhi's mayoral election reached out on the Delhi's streets as both parties organised protest marches against each other.
While AAP supporters protested outside the BJP headquarters, BJP workers marched to the residence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
At the Chief Minister's residence, Delhi Police had to use water cannons on the 2,000-odd BJP workers who had gathered there for the protest.
The protests come days after a massive brawl during a meeting to elect a new mayor for the national capital.
BJP and AAP councilors were seen fighting and raising slogans as the meeting to elect a mayor was stalled and Delhi's 10-year wait for a mayor still continued.
Both parties claimed their councilors suffered injuries in Friday's clash at Civic Centre, headquarters of the Municipal Corporation of the National Capital.
