Mysore/Mysuru: Claiming that Mayor Shivakumar had run away from meetings to elect the Heads of MCC Standing Committees, which posts are vacant for months, former Mayor and senior Congress leader Ayub Khan alleged that rampant corruption was taking place in the last 7-8 months under BJP rule in the absence of Standing Committees’ Chairmen.
Addressing a press meet at the Opposition Leader’s chamber in the MCC here yesterday, Ayub Khan, who is also a current Corporator, said that the Mayor had blatantly flouted the general norm that the Heads for all the MCC Standing Committees should be elected within seven days of the Mayoral polls. But now the norm has been given a go by and the Standing Committees have no Chairpersons to head them, which has severely hampered the development works, he maintained.
