NEW DELHI: Congress seems to be in no mood to upset Delhiites with the Assembly elections just a few months away. New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), which has chief minister Sheila Dikshit as a member, on Thursday deferred a proposal to increase parking rates in the city. Recently, BJP, which is the ruling party in the three municipal corporations, had turned down a similar proposal.

NDMC, where Congress is in majority, deferred the proposal after BJP's Karan Singh Tanwar's protested against the hike. "BJP was the first to reject the proposal. The CM agreed to get it reviewed," said Tanwar.

The proposal is based on the recommendations of a Supreme Court-appointed monitoring committee, Environment Pollution Control Authority, and a high court-appointed special task force.
