The Aam Aadmi Party accused the BJP of trying to take over the Delhi Corporation through this.

Aam Aadmi Party filed a case in the Supreme Court regarding the Delhi Mayoral election. In the order issued by the Supreme Court on February 18 in this case, “nominated members cannot vote in the mayoral election. After the election of the mayor, the deputy mayor should be selected in a meeting chaired by him,” it said. After the verdict came in their favor, the governor also agreed to the government recommending the election date to the governor. Accordingly, the election was held today. Aam Aadmi Party candidate Shelly Oberoi has won.
