Holding the Congress ruled Durg Municipal Corporation (DMC) responsible for various problems prevailing in the city, the BJP Corporators on Tuesday staged a protest demonstration outside Mayor Dheeraj Bakliwal’s chamber demanding his resignation. Holding placards in their hands, the protesting BJP workers said that MLA Arun Vora’s defeat is result of people’s anger and it is not only against Vora but instead the mandate is against the entire Mayor in Council of Mayor Dheeraj Bakliwal and hence he should resign on moral grounds.
