Praveen Shankar Kapoor, Delhi BJP spokesperson, said, “The MCD has been going through a difficult phase, which is why the election, the appointment of the mayor, and the appointment of the leader of the opposition for the councillor body all took time, but it has been a good decision as Singh is a very competent man who will maintain a proper system of check and balances.”
