BJP’s Late-Night Councillor Nominations Spark Controversy
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stirred controversy on July 10, 2025, by announcing the appointment of 96 councillors across Haryana, three months after the state elections concluded. The move has raised eyebrows among political observers.
Seventy-two of these appointees will serve on municipal councils and committees. The remaining 24 will fill seats in eight municipal corporations.
The corporations affected include those in major cities like Rohtak, Faridabad, Gurugram, Yamunanagar, Karnal, Panipat, Manesar, and Hisar. The timing of these nominations is generating significant debate.
This late-stage appointment raises questions about transparency and the BJP’s decision-making process. Opposition parties are already voicing their concerns.
The development is likely to fuel further political tension in Haryana, impacting local governance and upcoming electoral strategies. The implications for local development projects remain to be seen.
