BJP issues notice to councillor for misconduct in Vadodara

BJP councillor Ashish Joshi faces trouble after arguing with municipal commissioner Dilip Rana. The BJP issued him a show-cause notice for his alleged misbehaviour during a recent meeting of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC). Joshi must explain his actions within three days. The disagreement began over a blocked stormwater drain in Joshi's area. Residents were suffering, and Joshi claimed he had raised the issue with Rana multiple times. Frustrated, he confronted Rana during the meeting, which led to a heated exchange. The BJP is concerned about Joshi's past actions as well. He previously supported a Congress demand for compensation to victims of a boat accident, which the party disagreed with. Joshi intends to respond to the notice and defend his actions, insisting he was advocating for his constituents.
