BJP moves its winning members to undisclosed location till Feb 7

Ajmer: After the results to the AMC elections were declared, the BJP moved its winning candidates to an undisclosed location in a bid to lay claim to the mayor’s post.

This time, the seat of mayor in Ajmer Municipal Corporation is reserved for SC woman category and the name of Brajlata, who won from ward 51, is doing the rounds. Brajlata is the wife of BJP city president Dr Priya Sheel Hada.

BJP leaders are hopeful of bagging the mayor and deputy mayor’s seats this time as the party won 48 of the 80 seats. Congress will have to break away atleast 22 members to do a turnaround. BJP is hopeful that they will get posts and there are other names like Sheelam Berwa and Kusum Lata Chandawat. BJP leaders said that no name has been declared for the mayor’s post yet and they have started training camp for the new members.

Sources said some of these members will remain in isolation till February 7, the day of voting for the mayor. For the first time in 20 years, the mayor of Ajmer Municipal Corporation will be from Ajmer south assembly constituency as no SC candidate won from Ajmer north assembly constituency.

BJP leaders said their booth management worked and people came out to vote for the party. Secondly, there was no open revolt in BJP and the party managed deal with the dissidents. But in the Congress, the party was divided into many groups.
