Congress MLAs call councillors’ meeting

Jaipur: Congress MLAs have called a meeting of the JMC-Heritage councillors after more than 35 of them spoke out against mayor Munesh Gurjar over the non-formation of working panels.
The meeting in which MLAs Amin Kagzi and Rafiq Khan and cabinet ministers Pratap Singh Khachariyawas and Mahesh Joshi will take part will be held during the weekend and it is expected to finally resolve the issue.
Congress councillors, seeking anonymity, said they were not satisfied with the work of Mayor Munesh Gurjar. "No committees were formed after a year has passed since the formation of the first board of the Congress. We are not satisfied with the functioning of the mayor, and it is high time for the mayor to resign or government must replace her," they said.
MLA Rafiq Khan has shown concerns about the entire incident and has said that things will be sorted out democratically. "We have called a meeting with the councillors and will have voting of whether they support the mayor or not. It will do democratically, and we are sure that the matter will be sorted," said Khan.
MLA Pratap Singh Khacahiryawas also felt that the decision should be taken after a meeting with the councillors.
Sources in the JMC-Heritage have claimed that efforts are being made to choose a mayor from the minority community. However, other members of the Congress board have questioned the move. The official said Congress was about to choose its Jaipur head and both MLAs were creating ruckus in JMC-Heritage to make a minority mayor.
