A BJP woman councillor today alleged that her office was ransacked by some Aam Aadmi Party volunteers who also misbehaved with her in Ram Nagar area of East Delhi but AAP refuted the allegations.

"I was sitting in my office when around 30-40 men including several AAP volunteers from my areas barged in and started throwing away furniture, roughing up staff and those present in the office and hurled abuses at me around 11.15 am, said Sushma Sharma, BJP councillor of Ram Nagar ward in East Delhi Municipal Corporation.

Sharma said that she has filed a complaint with the police in this regard naming the persons whom she identified as volunteers of Aam Admi Party.
 

AAP spokesperson Deepak Bajpai admitted that party workers have been protesting against the BJP, but refuted the charges of any kind of attack.

Sharma alleged that the attack could be in retaliation by AAP since she had submitted a memorandum to the local MLA along with two other councilors about problems of people in the ward.

"Yesterday I met the Rohtash Nagar MLA Sarita Singh and very humbly gave a memorandum about the problems of locals as well as the need of desilting of the choked drains in my ward, maintained by PWD. May be the party took offence and warned me through the attack," she said.

Police said that they have received a complaint by the councilor and investigating the issue.
