Rajasthan Congress Councillors

Twelve Congress councillors in the Rajasthan's Baran Municipal Council on Tuesday sent their resignation letters to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, expressing anguish over atrocities against the Dalits and backing party MLA Pana Chand Meghwal.

The ruling Congress in Rajasthan won 620, the BJP 548, and independent candidates bagged 595 of the total 1,775 ward councillor posts in 50 urban local bodies for which results were declared on Sunday, according to a State Election Commission official.

A Rajasthan BJP lawmaker landed in trouble by allegedly calling Congress president Rahul Gandhi 'pappu' at a gathering as a local councillor present there took offence and entered into an heated argument with the leader.

Ugly scenes unfolded on Tuesday during a meeting of the Jaipur Municipal Corporation meeting where BJP and Congress councillors came to a fight and a Congress councillor allegedly threw a slipper at Mayor Nirmal Nahta. The footwear missed its target.
