CM, AAP MLA send dissent note to NDMC chairman

New Delhi, April 25

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and AAP MLA Surender Singh today sent New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) chairman Naresh Kumar a dissent note against the civic body's decision that audio and video recording of the council meetings should not be made public.

Following the development, the NDMC chairman has directed officials concerned to include the dissent note in minutes of the meeting, which was held on April 23.

Kejriwal is a presiding officer of the NDMC meeting while Singh is a member of the council.

"In the instant case, whereas some BJP members had been publicly taking a stand in favour of the three issues...However, they said exactly the opposite side inside the council meeting.

"In meeting, dated February 3, 2018, these BJP members strongly opposed DTL scales, 100 per cent employment to death cases and regularisation of RMR employees," the note read.

It also said this is the reason why the BJP members are so "adamant" that the recordings of this meeting should not be made public, else their "duplicity" would get "exposed". – PTI
