Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councilor from Bawana, Pawan Sehrawat, on Friday joined the BJP, minutes before the Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s standing committee election.
Soon after joining the saffron party, Sehrawat said AAP politics was suffocating and that he was pressured to create a ruckus in MCD House on Wednesday.
Polling for the Standing Committee got underway on Wednesday evening, hours after AAP’s Shelly Oberoi was elected the new Mayor of Delhi. No sooner did the process start, than the House descended into complete pandemonium, with AAP and BJP councilors exchanging blows, hurling water bottles, fruit, and ballot boxes at each other leading to over a dozen adjournments.

The commotion continued way past midnight forcing the newly-elected Mayor to adjourn the House for the day.
Sehrawat was elected as a councilor in the 2017 MCD by-polls, representing the AAP, and is said to have undertaken various initiatives to improve the living conditions of the people in the area.
Earlier, AAP leaders Shelly Oberoi and Aaley Mohammad Iqbal on Wednesday were elected as the new Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Delhi.
