Mayors of the three BJP-ruled municipal corporations and councillors of the party on Monday took out a march from Rajghat to Delhi Secretariat demanding Arvind Kejriwal Government to release funds to the civic bodies and implement recommendations of Delhi Finance Commission.
The mayors and councillors were later detained by police near Indira Gandhi stadium.
North Delhi Municipal Corporation mayor Ravindra Gupta said, “Police detained us near the Delhi Secretariat and took us to IP Estate police station from where we were released after some time. We will not let Kejriwal Government sit peacefully unless our pending funds are released and recommendations of 4th Delhi Finance Commission (DFC) is implemented.”
A group of councillors, led by Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay, broke the police cordon and rushed towards the Secretariat but were also detained and taken to IP Estate police station.
