Pro BJP Councillors Nominated For Chandigarh MC House
December 31, 2016 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau
Chandigarh: The list of nine nominated councillors to the municipal corporation House released on Thursday reflects the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) dominance in the civic body. The list is packed with BJP sympathisers and for the first time in 20 years includes no retired bureaucrat, engineer and educationist. This runs contrary to the guideline in Section 4 of Punjab Municipal Corporation Act, 1994, extended to Chandigarh that states nominated councillors should be experienced in civic body governance or be eminent personalities in their field of expertise.
