The Delhi civic body yet again failed to elect a mayor and deputy mayor after the proceedings to the house was journed indefinitely amid a ruckus by some councillors on Tuesday. 

After the oath of aldermen and elected councillors, the House was adjourned for 15 minutes during which a number of BJP councillors started moving into the House, chanted "Modi, Modi", and raised slogans against AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal.

They went towards the benches where AAP councillors were sitting and raised slogans, prompting the presiding officer to adjourn the House until a further date.

The civic body is due to elect Delhi's first mayor as a whole after a decade.
