A confidence motion against independent councillor Ajay Yadav was passed 14-4 in the Pasan Municipal Council of Anupur, removing him from the vice‑president post amid a long‑running dispute with the council president.
The Pasan Municipal Council in Anupur, Madhya Pradesh, voted to remove independent councillor Ajay Yadav from his position as vice‑president. The confidence motion was carried by a 14‑4 majority, reflecting a decisive shift in the council's leadership.
The motion concluded a protracted power struggle between the council president and Yadav, centred on several development projects, including the controversial Mangal Bhawan construction. Sources said the disagreement over project approvals and financial oversight had intensified over months, prompting the president to seek a formal vote of no‑confidence.
Council members who supported the motion argued that Yadav’s handling of the projects compromised transparency and fiscal responsibility. The four councillors who voted against the motion defended Yadav, citing his contributions to local infrastructure, but were outnumbered.
The outcome leaves the council to elect a new vice‑president and may reshape the agenda for pending civic works in Anupur. Officials indicated that the council will reconvene within the week to address the vacancy and to review the disputed projects.
