AAP refuses to contest Delhi MCD mayoral election, citing BJP's alleged electoral manipulation and councillor poaching.

AAP Withdraws from MCD Mayoral Race

AAP abstains from participating in Delhi's MCD mayoral election, accusing BJP of manipulation. Political tensions rise as elections approach.

AAP refuses to contest Delhi MCD mayoral election

AAP withdraws from Delhi MCD mayoral election, citing BJP's alleged electoral manipulation. Party leaders criticize BJP's actions.

The AAP on Monday announced that it will not contest the upcoming elections for the posts of mayor and deputy mayor in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
The polls are scheduled to be held on April 25.
Addressing a press conference, former Delhi chief minister and Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Atishi, said, "The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will play the role of a strong opposition in the MCD as well. BJP did a lot of rigging during the MCD elections but still it lost badly. Even after this, it did not stop and all the councillors were poached." She said her party does not believe in the "politics of sabotage and horse-trading" and has, therefore, decided not to participate in the mayoral contest.
"Now the BJP should form its triple engine government and fulfil its promises made to the people of Delhi without any excuses," Atishi said.
AAP's Delhi unit chief Saurabh Bharadwaj, who was also present at the press conference, accused the BJP of indulging in malpractice during the delimitation process.
"The BJP had stopped the MCD election earlier too. Wards were shifted during delimitation. There was huge fraud and corruption during the process. Despite this, BJP lost the election and AAP formed the government," Bharadwaj said.
He also alleged that BJP councillors have tried to disrupt MCD meetings.
"After much drama by BJP councillors and ongoing defections, we have decided not to field our candidate this time," he said.
The BJP's current strength in the MCD has increased to 119 following multiple defections from the AAP over the past few months. Both MPs and MLAs nominated to the MCD are eligible to vote in the upcoming elections.
According to a notice issued by the MCD Secretary's Office, the corporation will hold its ordinary meeting on April 25, with the elections for mayor and deputy mayor scheduled for 2 pm.

Indian origin candidate out of London mayor race over past comment

An Indian-origin entrepreneur-activist was on Monday dropped as a prospective London mayoral candidate to contest against Sadiq Khan next year after her past anti-semitic comments came to light

An Indian-origin entrepreneur-activist was on Monday dropped as a prospective London mayoral candidate to contest against Sadiq Khan next year after her past anti-semitic comments came to light. Geeta Sidhu Robb, the founder of organic food and juice products firm Nosh Detox, had been shortlisted as the Liberal Democrat candidate to take on Labour&rsquo;s Khan. She was, however, suspended from the party after a 1997 General Election footage revealed her making anti-Jewish remarks. Contesting against Labour MP Jack Straw in 1997, Geeta Sidhu was filmed saying: "Don't vote for a Jew, Jack Straw is a Jew". She has now apologised for her comments.

London, PTI: An Indian-origin entrepreneur-activist was on Monday dropped as a prospective London mayoral candidate to contest against Sadiq Khan next year after her past anti-semitic comments came to light.
Geeta Sidhu Robb, the founder of organic food and juice products firm Nosh Detox, had been shortlisted as the Liberal Democrat candidate to take on Labour&rsquo;s Khan but was instead suspended from the party after a 1997 General Election footage revealed her making anti-Jewish remarks.
&ldquo;I apologise profusely for my actions in the 1997 General Election campaign. My behaviour caused offence and hurt and I am deeply sorry,&rdquo; said Sidhu Robb.
&ldquo;There is no room for any form of racism or antisemitism in society and as such I very much regret my conduct at that time. It is in no way an excuse, but the context was that I was on the receiving end of a consistent racist campaign and, wrongly, retaliated as I did,&rdquo; she said.
As a Conservative Party General Election candidate in Blackburn 23 years ago when she was contesting against incumbent Labour MP Jack Straw, Sidhu Robb was filmed saying: &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t vote for a Jew, Jack Straw is a Jew.&rdquo; The London-based health food promoter, who came second behind Straw in that election, said she was &ldquo;deeply ashamed&rdquo; of the language she had used, which she is seen admitting in the footage was done in anger.
&ldquo;As shown in the footage, I instantly regretted my appalling behaviour, which I continue to do. And I am actively reaching out to the Jewish community to listen and learn,&rdquo; she said.
&ldquo;Two wrongs never make a right. I made a mistake and I take responsibility for my abhorrent actions 23 years ago, they were never repeated. I urge you to judge me on who I am today, a campaigner committed to eradicating inequality and discrimination in all its forms,&rdquo; she added, in a lengthy Twitter statement.
The London mayoral election was due to be held in May this year but has been postponed to May 2021 due to the coronavirus lockdown disruption.
