Kolkata: Kolkata will soon get a “sanatani” mayor, Union minister of state Sukanta Majumdar, tasked with leading BJP’s campaign for the upcoming Kolkata Municipal Corporation polls, said on Tuesday.
Because the city consistently ranks as India’s cleanest civic body due to daily garbage collection, source segregation and zero-landfill initiatives, bJP sources said Indore was chosen as a benchmark. the party’s ‘Sankalp Patra’ will be released after the festive season While party workers have begun consultations with residents across Kolkata and Howrah to gauge their priorities.
We have been asked to formulate plans for Kolkata modelled on Indore’s civic services,” Majumdar said. Over the past two days, BJP national general secretary Sunil Bansal held meetings with party MLAs, netas and district functionaries from Kolkata and Howrah. Following political shift in the state and administrative re-alignment of ward boundaries, BJP aims to replicate Indore’s urban management model across both cities. “A committee has been formed to draft the ‘Sankalp Patra’. “We are not a party driven by individual decisions. We have a strong organisation guided by ideology. Whichever councillor is elected mayor will follow the party’s philosophy. Kolkata Corporation will get a sanatani mayor after a long time,” he added.
