BJP nominates SAD councillor as North Delhi Municipal Corporation Mayor

The Delhi BJP unit has nominated Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) councillor of GTB Nagar, Raja Iqbal Singh, as mayor of North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC).

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unit has nominated Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) councillor of GTB Nagar, Raja Iqbal Singh, as mayor of North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), despite the latter breaking its alliance with the saffron party last year over the three farm laws. The BJP is currently in power in all the three civic bodies in Delhi- NDMC, South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) and East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC). Municipal elections in the national capital are due to be held next year. In 2017, both BJP and SAD had contested the municipal elections as allies. While the BJP bagged 179 seats, SAD won five seats.
