The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Tuesday, 14 January, failed to elect a Mayor for a second consecutive time amid fight between councillors belonging to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
This comes two weeks after the two parties (quite literally) exchanged blows inside the House over Pro-tem Speaker Satya Sharma's decision to administer oath to 10 nominated members (aldermen) before the elected councillors.
The AAP had in December 2022 wrested control of the civic body from the BJP, ending the party's 15-year-rule.
