Bjp have again shows that bjp isparty of baniays and punjabis ..
A last-minute change in its mayoral candidates has upset BJP's caste calculations with the party ignoring the claims of the politically significant Jat and Gujjar communities and nominating two Vaish leaders and one Poorvanchali.
The decision to nominate two mayors from the same community - Meera Aggrawal and Savita Gupta - for North and South Corporations has not gone down well with senior members of the party. The decision to nominate Savita Gupta to the mayor's post in South seems to have come at the expense of Jat candidate Sarita Chaudhary.
While senior party leaders were critical of the selection of south Delhi's mayoral candidate, they welcomed the decision to nominate a poorvanchali councillor, Annapurna Mishra, for the post of Mayor in east Delhi.
BJP, which emerged as the single largest party in all the three corporations, didn't nominate any councillor for the post of deputy mayor in South corporation. BSP's Bir Singh and INDL's Krishan Kumar Pahelwan, who defeated three-time councillor and former leader of MCD House JK Sharma, have filed their nomination for the post of deputy mayor.
Sources say that Sarita Chaudhary, a two-time councillor, was considered a strong contender for the post but she had to give away. She was the deputy standing committee chairman in unified MCD and has not been accommodated even in the standing committee. She seems to have been sidelined at the instance of the state BJP leadership.
