Resignations of Mayor, Deputy Mayor raise many eye-brows

Early Times Report

Jammu, Sept 24: Resignations of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) Mayor Chander Mohan Gupta and Deputy Mayor Purnima Sharma have raised many eye-brows within BJP circle because no discussion was held in the party in this regard.
Credible sources in the BJP said that decision to ask both Mayor and Deputy Mayor to submit their papers was taken a week back but only few leaders were aware of this development. “Like chairpersons of different committees BJP leadership has earlier decided to allot Mayor and Deputy Mayor posts to different leaders on rotational basis but due to pressure of some senior leaders this system was not followed”, a source said and added that after thorough discussion party leadership arrived at a conclusion to give chance of fresh faces ahead of the Urban Local Bodies elections, especially of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) next year.
Important to mention here that JMC mayor Chander Mohan Gupta and his deputy Purnima Sharma on Saturday submitted their resignations after a meeting chaired by Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Ravinder Raina here.
Both Gupta and Sharma resigned voluntarily and expressed their desire to work for strengthening the organisation (BJP), Raina told reporters after the joint meeting of the party corporators and leaders.
He said the meeting lauded the role of Gupta and Sharma during the past four years, especially in implementation of projects under the Jammu Smart City.
“The party will decide the name of the next mayor and the deputy mayor in consultation with the corporators,” Raina said.
A BJP leader said a meeting of the corporators and senior leaders has been convened at the party headquarters on Sunday to reach a consensus on the name of the new mayor and the deputy mayor.
BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh is also attending the meeting, he said, adding the names of the new mayor and the deputy mayor are likely to be announced on Sunday evening.
Gupta and Sharma took over their respective posts on November 15, 2018, after the BJP swept the prestigious JMC, winning 43 out of the 75 wards. The urban local bodies elections were held in four phases from October 8-16 in 2018 after a gap of 13 years.
The leader said the BJP had initially decided to change the mayor and his deputy after they complete their half terms. However, due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, the party decided to continue with both of them, he added.
