BJP leader Vijay Goel on Friday has expressed concern over the term of Mayor saying that the short period of one year is insufficient to undertake development work. Former Delhi BJP leader said there is a need to relook at the terms of Mayors and extend it to at least a couple of years so that they have time to do something concrete.
“Such problems have come up in the MCD due to flawed trifurcation of MCD done by Congress Government. It is time to review the trifurcation also and see whether the objectives have been fulfilled or not,” he said, adding the trifurcation of MCDs has introduced many anomalies, which is affecting the interests of the common people.
Goel also a Rajya Sabha MP advocated for a Mayor-in-Council instead of present system. “There has to be a mechanism which ensures close coordination between all three municipal bodies. A joint coordination committee of three MCDs should be set up. None of this was taken into account as Congress Government in Delhi implemented trifurcation in a hurry,” he added.
