Delhi BJP workers on Thursday staged a protest in front of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia s residence here, a day after its leaders lodged a police complaint alleging that there was a conspiracy to kill mayors and leaders of the party-led municipal corporations.
They also demanded that the Kejriwal government clear dues of the three municipal corporations the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) and the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC).
The BJP s city unit on Wednesday, citing a video, had lodged a complaint with the police against Sisodia and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Durgesh Pathak alleging a conspiracy to kill leaders of the municipal corporations.
The Bharatiya Janata Party denied the charge, saying its workers were peacefully protesting against alleged comments by an AAP leader the previous day against municipal corporation mayors. | Latest News Delhi
They demanded that the Kejriwal government pay the dues of the three municipal corporations the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) and the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC).
Pathak has rubbished the allegations, saying the BJP has a habit of mixing random audios with random videos to defame and malign people. We protested against the conspiracy to kill our mayors, and issued a warning that BJP workers know how to give answer to such challenges, Delhi BJP vice president Ashok Goel Devraha said.
The protesters, including members of the BJP s youth and SC wings, tried to get past a police barricade near Sisodia s residence on Mathura Road, after which a few of them were detained.
Devraha, who led the protest, claimed that four to five BJP workers were detained by the police and taken to the Mandir Marg Police station.
