BJP seeks to downplay 'bickering' in NDMC House

NEW DELHI: BJP today sought to downplay the "bickering" within its North Delhi Municipal Corporation(NDMC) unit days after House Leader Yogesh Chandolia accused Mayor Ravinder Gupta of "collecting" money in the name of party fund, saying "nothing of this sort" has happened.

"All have right to express their views in democracy. Within our party too, all have their right to express themselves. There may be differences of opinions, but there is no difference of heart.

"Media reports that there are differences within the unit, that allegations-counter allegations are being made against each other, nothing of that sort has happened," Delhi BJP spokesperson Harish Khurana told reporters on the sidelines of the executive meeting held here.

Earlier this month, Chandolia had written a letter to Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay complaining Gupta was "collecting" money for the party fund and that he "lacked knowledge" of the rules of NDMC House.
