Delhi New Highlights: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday accused the BJP-led central government of using force and hooliganism in not allowing MCD elections in the city and said that AAP will approach the court to get the polls conducted on time. He also said that the party was delaying the elections because they were fearing defeat. Kejriwal was speaking in the Delhi Assembly on the second day of the monsoon session.
