New Delhi: A former councilor, Haseeb-ul-Hasan of the Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday climbed up a transmission tower near Shashtri Park metro station in Delhi.
It has been alleged that the former AAP councilor was unhappy after the party denied him a ticket for the upcoming MCD elections.
Locals, police personnel, and the fire brigade are currently at the spot to bring him down.
On Saturday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) released its second list of 117 candidates for elections to the 250-ward Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) scheduled for December 4.
The AAP also took a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said that the people of Delhi will vote for them to clean the “garbage mountains” gifted by the BJP.
“Our 2nd list of candidates for the upcoming MCD elections is here! Congratulations to all. Delhi will ‘Vote for Jhaadu’ to clean the ‘3 Garbage Mountains’ gifted by the BJP,” the AAP tweeted along with the list of candidates.
The AAP’s second list was released shortly after the BJP issued its first list of 232 candidates for the civic body elections.
On Friday, AAP released its first list of 134 candidates.
The nomination process for the polls is already underway.
November 14 is the last date for filing nominations and the scrutiny of forms will take place on November 16.
The last date for withdrawal of nominations is November 19.
The MCD polls will be held on December 4. The counting of votes will take place on December 7.
