Major responsibilities delegated to other leaders

Apart from the posts of mayor and deputy mayor, the BJP has also entrusted some important responsibilities at the organizational level. The party has entrusted Jai Bhagwan Yadav with the dual responsibility of ‘Standing Committee Member’ and ‘House Leader’. Similarly, Manish Chadha has also been elected as a member of the Standing Committee. On the other hand, representing the Aam Aadmi Party, Jalaj Kumar Chaudhary, a corporator from Shalimar Bagh ward, has filed his nomination for the post of member of the standing committee.

The decision will be taken on April 29

Polling for the posts of Mayor and Deputy Mayor will be held on April 29. Aam Aadmi Party’s Delhi state president Saurabh Bhardwaj has clarified that he is giving the BJP a chance to work so that the people can have a first-hand view of their functioning. However, according to experts, this move by ‘AAP’ has completely eased the path to power for the BJP.
