Ruckus at NDMC meeting: AAP accuses BJP of being 'anti-Bania'

NEW DELHI: A day after a ruckus in a North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) meeting, the AAP on Tuesday accused the BJP of being "anti-Bania" (anti-traders) and demanded action against a councillor who allegedly "attacked" its member in the civic body. A section of the AAP and BJP councillors "exchanged blows" following heated arguments during the session of the saffron party-led NDMC House Monday. A probe has been ordered into the incident by the mayor of the corporation.

AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sushil Gupta demanded that the BJP should expel its councillor who allegedly attacked AAP councillor Vikas Goyal in the NDMC meeting. "The incident exposes BJP's anti-Bania face before the country," Gupta said at a press conference.
