AAP MLA Kunwar Vijay Partap Singh has alleged that the delay in making the Amritsar Municipal Corporation House operational, even weeks after declaration of the result, was an effort to indulge in horse-trading. He said this at a press conference here on Wednesday, but did not name any political party.

It is an open secret that AAP and Congress have been desperately trying to increase their numbers of councillors to elect their mayor. The Aam Aadmi Party second in this race with 24 seats has been claiming every other day of having support of more councillors.

Hectic parleys have been going on in the Congress after it had bagged clear majority with 40 seats in the 85 ward municipal corporation election. However, it requires 46 seats to enable Congress leaders to elect the mayor from the party.

Meanwhile, Kunwar categorically stated that he did not name any political outfit and added that councillors should be sworn-in to resume the work of the House while the Mayor could be chosen later.

He claimed that he had been performing the duties of a councillor in the absence of a proper House for the past over two years.
