New Delhi: A member of Am Aadmi Party has made a spectacle of himself today by threatening to kill himself after AAP allegedly refused to nominate him in Delhi civic body polls.
Haseeb-ul-Hasan, who is a former councellor, climbed atop a pylon with high-tension wires to protest against the AAP leadership for the party's "wrong" policies.
At the time of writing this, he is reportedly still on the tower outside Delhi's Shastri Park metro station.
After alleging that he was not given ticket, Haseeb-ul-Hasan climbed up the structure and threatened to die by suicide.
The former AAP-nominated corporator Haseeb ul Hasan felt betrayed after having not found his name in the list of 134 candidates put out by AAP for Delhi MCD polls scheduled to be held on December 4. .
However, women make up 70 of the 134 in the list in what appears to be a poll strategy of the AAP.
The former MLA Vijender Garg will fight MCD polls from Naraina.
Other biggies in the list include Mukesh Goyal, the senior-most councillor of Delhi who quit the Congress, will contest at the Adarsh Nagar ward.
Guddi Devi, another former Congress leader who joined AAP, is a candidate of AAP at Malkaganj in Timarpur.
AAP brought out its second list of 117 candidates for the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls.
