Jitu Yadav, who was previously expelled from the Municipal Corporation of Indore (MIC), has been reinstated as a member of the council. The decision was announced by Mayor Pushyamitra Baghav during a council meeting on Thursday.
In a move that has drawn attention, the mayor assigned Yadav charge of the electricity department, a key portfolio in the city’s administration. The appointment was made public on the MIC’s official social media channels.
The decision triggered immediate opposition from BJP councillor Kamlesh Kalra, who, along with his family, staged a protest at Rajabada. The demonstrators expressed concerns over Yadav’s past conduct and the implications of his reinstatement.
The MIC has yet to release a formal statement on the protest, but the mayor’s office confirmed that the appointment stands and that Yadav will assume his new responsibilities next week.
