Mysore/Mysuru: BJP District Spokesman M.A. Mohan has criticised the decision to cancel the last Council meeting of Mayor Shivakumar, whose tenure ended on Sept. 5, 2023, and the justification provided by another former Mayor, Ayub Khan.
Speaking at the BJP city unit office, Mohan stated, “According to the Karnataka Municipal Corporations (KMC) Act, the Mayor is legally empowered to convene, reschedule and cancel Council meetings. Officers, including the Commissioner, in Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) do not have the authority to make decisions in these matters. Even former Mayor Ayub Khan is well aware of the Mayor’s jurisdiction.”
