Amid chaos, MCD rolls back user charges, announces tax amnesty
The Morning Standard
|May 22, 2025
The first House meeting of the newly-formed MCD leadership saw a heated exchange between councilors from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and a splinter group, the Indraprastha Vikas Party (IVP), leading to a dramatic disruption in proceedings.
The newly-formed IVP, which consists of 16 former AAP councillors, including ex-LOH Mukesh Goel, accused the AAP of paralyzing the MCD over the last two and a half years.
In turn, AAP councillors accused the IVP of operating under the influence of the BJP.
Amidst the chaos, a private resolution was tabled to roll back user charges levied on garbage collection, which had been imposed as part of property tax. The resolution was passed, and it was announced that a nominated member would take their oath during the session.
