In Kota's Ward 49, a municipal corporation team entered to seize the school of an independent candidate who had defected from the BJP, sparking accusations of political bias.
On a recent day in Kota, a municipal corporation team arrived at the premises of a school owned by an independent candidate who had recently withdrawn from the BJP. The team reportedly entered the school grounds and began the process of seizing the property, citing administrative reasons. The candidate, who had been a prominent figure in local politics, had announced his departure from the party amid growing tensions with party leaders.
The seizure has drawn sharp criticism from the candidate’s supporters, who claim the action is politically motivated and aimed at undermining his influence ahead of the upcoming municipal elections. They argue that the school has been used for community outreach and that its confiscation could disrupt local educational activities.
Municipal officials have stated that the move was in accordance with city regulations and that the school had been found to be in violation of certain municipal codes. However, no official documents detailing the specific violations have yet been released to the public.
The incident has intensified the already heated political atmosphere in Kota, with opposition parties calling for an independent investigation into the seizure and demanding transparency from the municipal authorities.
