Srinagar Mayor Mattu fails floor test
Srinagar, June 16
Junaid Mattu lost the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) floor test after a no-confidence motion was passed against the outgoing Mayor on Tuesday.
“The vote of no-confidence motion against me, and the @JKPC_has been passed in the SMC with 42 votes out of 70,” Mattu said in a tweet while blaming the BJP and National Conference (NC) for voting him out.
“The seemingly unthinkable seems to have happened as @JKNC_and @BJP4India have come together in Srinagar,” he said.
The BJP, however, distanced itself from the matter saying former Deputy Mayor Sheikh Imran was behind the move to bring the present no-confidence motion. — TNS
