Kamaljeet Sehrawat has filed her nomination for the post of Mayor of South Delhi Municipal Corporation while Kailash Sankla filed papers for the Deputy Mayor’s post. Bhupender Gupta has been fielded for the post of Chairman of Standing Committee while Nandini Sharma will be the Deputy Chairperson.
Shikha Rai and Tulsi Joshi are other BJP councillors who will be members of the Standing Committee. Meanwhile, Neema Bhagat has been fielded as the Mayor of East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) while Bipin Bihari will be the Deputy Mayor.
The meeting was held at the Civic Centre where Pradesh General Secretary Rajesh Bhatia met the newly-elected councillors.
Rai will act as leader of the House while after the election Bhupender Gupta will be Chairman and Nandini Sharma the Deputy Chairperson of Standing Committee of the SDMC.
Bhatia said, “Arvind Kejriwal misled the women of Delhi with big promises on women’s security and empowerment, but once in power he ignored women’s rights.” “Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari has instantly started work on women empowerment by ensuring their full participation in the municipal administration, however,” he said.
Pravesh Sharma, Santosh, Satpal Singh and Kiran, Kanchan Maheswari and Rekha Tyagi, the Aam Admi Party (AAP) representative from Ward 48 -E will be part of standing committee for the EDMC.
Election to the above posts in EDMC will take place on May 22, 2017. “Since only one nomination each has been filed for these positions, election as against these posts would be unanimous,” said an EDMC official.
