In a setback to the AAP on Sunday, five councillors of the party in the MCD, joined the BJP boosting it's chances of having majority in the standing committee of the civic body.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, in a media briefing during the joining event, alleged that these councillors were troubled due to pressure to indulge in corruption and gather crowds for Aam Aadmi Party leaders.
The AAP Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) councillors who switched sides to the BJP included Ramchandra (Ward 28), Pawan Sehrawat (Ward 30), Mamata Pawan (Ward 177), Sugandha Bidhuri (Ward 178) and Manju Nirmal of Ward 180, a statement from the Delhi BJP said.
