The AAP staged a protest outside the Lt Governor’s house in Delhi on Saturday over 10 aldermen nominated by him to the MCD House being administered oath before the elected representatives, alleging that he is “destroying” the Constitution.

The ruling party claimed this was part of an “underhanded ploy” to get the aldermen to vote in the mayor and deputy mayor elections. Lt Governor VK Saxena on Tuesday nominated the 10 aldermen to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), days before the January 6 mayoral elections.
