Jaipur, 24 September (HS). Independent councillor Kusum Yadav has been made the acting mayor in Municipal Corporation Heritage. Kusum Yadav's tenure will be 2 months. The Department of Autonomous Governance has issued orders in this regard. Kusum Yadav may take charge on Wednesday.
The special thing is that during the councilor elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party did not give a ticket to Kusum Yadav. After this, Kusum rebelled against the party and won the election of an independent councilor. However, after winning the election, Yadav gave her support to the Bharatiya Janata Party. Then the BJP also made her the mayor candidate. Kusum Yadav is the wife of senior BJP worker and former Municipal Corporation President Ajay Yadav. Kusum herself has also become a councilor in the Municipal Corporation for the second time. Earlier, she has also been the president of the cultural committee.
There are a total of 100 councillors in Jaipur Municipal Corporation Heritage. Out of these, 47 councillors were from Congress, 42 councillors were from BJP and 11 councillors won the elections as independents. Out of these, 9 had supported the Congress party. Two had supported the Bharatiya Janata Party. But during the assembly elections, Congress councillor Neeraj Agarwal had joined the BJP. Now Mayor Munesh Gurjar has also been suspended from the post of councillor. After this, the total number of councillors in Municipal Corporation Heritage has reached 99. In such a situation, the number of 50 councillors is sufficient for majority. After 8 Congress councillors joined the BJP, the Bharatiya Janata Party has crossed the majority mark.
8 Congress councillors joined BJP
At the same time, BJP's position in Nagar Nigam Heritage has also become strong now. 8 councillors of Congress party have joined BJP unconditionally. These people were harassed by Munesh Gurjar and were demanding his dismissal from the post. On 21st September, these councillors had an informal meeting with BJP state president Madan Rathod. Out of these, 8 councillors decided to join BJP at that time itself. They gave a signed support letter to BJP state president Madan Rathod and UDH minister Jhabar Singh Kharra to join BJP unconditionally.

Congress councillors gave unconditional support to Bharatiya Janata Party against Munesh Gurjar
Nagar Nigam Heritage Councilor Uttam Sharma said- Bharatiya Janata Party is playing an important role in taking Rajasthan forward on the path of development. That is why we have decided to join BJP unconditionally under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma and State President Madan Rathore. At present, we are eight councilors. There are more than a dozen councilors who want to join BJP. Soon they will also join BJP along with us.
Manoj Mudgal, councillor from Nagar Nigam Heritage, said- Munesh Gurjar had made the Nagar Nigam a den of corruption. The people of Jaipur had to pay bribes even for their basic work. Even the councillors elected by the public were not being heard. In such a situation, we have decided to support the Bharatiya Janata Party without any conditions against Munesh Gurjar.
Congress councillor Jyoti Chauhan said that the BJP government of Rajasthan came to power by promising to end corruption. By fulfilling this promise, the state government has sacked the most corrupt mayor of the state. That is why we have joined the Bharatiya Janata Party and promised to support the BJP without any impact.
