In response to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) efforts to table a no-confidence motion against him, Raipur Mayor Aijaz Dhebar strongly refuted the motion’s validity. He dismissed the BJP’s assertions, emphasizing the unity among the 39 councilors supporting the corporation government, asserting that they maintain an absolute majority.
Mayor Aijaz Dhebar brushed aside BJP’s attempts, stating that the proposed no-confidence motion cannot be enforced merely on BJP’s insistence. He highlighted the requisite rules and regulations governing such motions, expressing skepticism about the substance of BJP’s claims, likening them to ‘eating imaginary pulao.’
In a surprising turn, Mayor Dhebar alleged that a senior BJP councilor possesses a counterfeit caste certificate, suggesting that he will expose this claim in due course. Additionally, he hinted at an imminent by-election within the city, implying potential developments that could further influence the political landscape.
Mayor Aijaz Dhebar’s rebuttal to BJP’s attempts to bring a no-confidence motion reflects his confidence in the unity and support of the councilors aligned with the corporation government. The mayor’s allegations about the authenticity of a BJP councilor’s caste certificate add a new dimension to the unfolding political scenario in Raipur.
