The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) public hearing on Wednesday turned into a political battleground as the AAP and BJP accused each other of hooliganism and violence.
Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta said he had filed a complaint at the Lodhi Road police station against Aam Aadmi Party "loyalists" since he was "forcibly prevented" from submitting his petition before the DERC.
AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj, however, said, "If he has any evidence in the matter, he should show it. In fact, we have proof that Devinder Kumar Sehrawat misbehaved with Rakhi Birla while Vijender Gupta snatched papers from her hand and tore them up."
Condemning the "hooliganism of AAP MLAs, leaders and workers" at DERC public hearing on tariff petitions, Gupta alleged, "I was forcibly prevented from submitting his petition before DERC. AAP MLA Jarnail Singh went to the extent of snatching the petition from my hands and tearing it into two pieces. BJP MLAs O P Sharma and Jagdish Pradhan, Sehrawat and Anil Bajpai were manhandled."
