The clash follows a series of confrontations between AAP and the Lieutenant Governor, who is the Centre's representative in Delhi and reports to the Union Home Minister.
Huge chaos erupted in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) meeting today as newly elected councilors of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the BJP clashed just before the election of a Mayor.
AAP and BJP workers shouted slogans in the middle of the Civic Centre. In visuals, members were seen pushing each other and some were seen falling to the ground.
The protests erupted when Satya Sharma, the temporary Speaker appointed by Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, started swearing in the nominated members or aldermen.
AAP members said elected councilors should have been sworn in before the nominated members.
