The Bharatiya Janata Party continues the suspension of Jaipur’s mayor and has transferred 84 municipal councillors to Pushkar, while party members discuss a name for the mayoral candidate.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has confirmed that the suspension of the mayor of Jaipur remains in effect. Party officials said the disciplinary action will stay until further internal review is completed.
In a related move, the BJP has reassigned 84 municipal councillors from Jaipur to the nearby town of Pushkar. The shift is intended to strengthen the party’s organizational presence in the region ahead of upcoming local elections.
Party leaders are also reportedly deliberating on a suitable name for the candidate who will contest the mayoral post. No official announcement has been made yet, and the decision is expected to be taken after consultations with senior members.
The developments come as the BJP seeks to consolidate its foothold in Rajasthan’s capital and address internal factional concerns. Observers note that the suspension and councillor reshuffle reflect ongoing power dynamics within the state unit.
Further updates will be provided as the party finalises its candidate and any additional administrative actions are taken.
