Delhi MCD Election 2022: The Aam Aadmi Party has approached the Supreme Court regarding the municipal elections to be held in the capital Delhi. The party has demanded free, fair and speedy elections in Delhi, without interference from the central government. It is to be known that last week the State Election Commission postponed the announcement of the dates of MCD elections at the last moment.
In the Supreme Court, the Aam Aadmi Party has said that the elections should be held on time and the election schedule should not be postponed due to talks with the Center. He said that the informal talks held by the Center on the possibility of merging the three MCDs should not affect the election schedule. Let us tell you that just before the announcement of the election dates, the State Election Commission had received the letter from the Central Government through the Lieutenant Governor. It was said in the letter that the central government wants to reunite the three municipal corporations. A bill regarding this will be introduced in Parliament soon, so elections should not be held now.
State Election Commissioner SK Srivastava had said in the press conference that the central government wants to unite the three municipal corporations. He said that the Commission being a constitutional body is not bound to accept this suggestion, but if any information has been received from any party, then it is necessary to consider it.
