Pointing to the Lieutenant Governor's message that the election has to be held by 10 pm, Manish Sisodia had told reporters, "How can elections be held without councillors? AAP and Congress councillors have gone home".
The latest flashpoint between Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party and the Lieutenant Governor came to an abrupt halt late this evening as the election of a single Standing Committee member of the civic body, which VK Saxena was insisting on being held tonight, was called off. After an all-evening drama that included an eleventh-hour press conference by senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia, officials from Raj Bhavan said the election will not be held tonight.
Pointing to the Lieutenant Governor's message that the election has to be held by 10 pm, Mr Sisodia had told reporters, "How can elections be held without councillors? AAP and Congress councillors have gone home".
Then he added, "Elections on one hour's notice is unconstitutional'.
