Elected MLAs, BJP councilors resigns from MCD: Raja Iqbal
Singh said due to this, the saffron party’s tally stands at 116 while that of the ruling AAP has decreased to 114 due to the resignation of three of their councilors, who became MLA.
Former Asansol Municipal Corporation (AMC) mayor and now BJP leader, Jitendra Tiwari has said that if the host Kapil Sharma does not issue an unconditional apology for showing disrespect to Kavi Guru Rabindranath Tagore then he will move court.
In his official X handle, Jitendra Tiwari, who was also an MLA of Pandaveswar Assembly segment said that he is strongly opposing the Kapil Sharma popular TV show, in which a person of the stature of Rabindranath Tagore has been shown disrespect in rendition of his most famous song ‘Jodi tor dak shune keu na ashe tobe ekla cholo re’.
