The Aam Aadmi Party accuses the BJP of dissolving Delhi's Municipal Corporation standing committee prematurely to facilitate alleged corruption. The AAP claims this undermines decision-making by removing key oversight on budget and project approvals until June 12. The BJP hasn't yet responded to these allegations.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of dissolving the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's (MCD) standing committee prematurely to foster corruption.

Speaking at a press conference, AAP's Praveen Kumar alleged that the BJP aimed to clear large tenders without the usual oversight, by ending the committee's term early, even though it was meant to continue until June 12.

AAP points to the crucial role of the standing committee in budget and project approvals, implying that the BJP's move would disrupt civic operations and decision-making. There has been no response from the BJP regarding these charges.
