Kejriwal in a statement said that the date for MCD polls was to be announced at 5 p.m. on March 9, but the same day an hour ago, Centre wrote to State EC to combine all 3 civic bodies into one, and to delay polls. EC agreed to do so. The State Election Commissioner must reveal if he was threatened (by Centre) with ED, I-T, CBI raids, or has been given a post-retirement role after April. he added.

Responding to Kejriwal’s statement, Irani said Kejriwal has deprived the people of Delhi of the strongest unit of Democracy, of its funds, adding, they (AAP) are requested to allow development work to be done till the slums of the poor, let the reform work be done.

The MCD election dates are yet to be issued by the Centre, according to the State Election Commissioner, who is investigating certain legal objections presented by the central government. The Centre intends to restructure the MCD by combining Delhi’s three municipal corporations.
