Sixteen councilors have handed an application to the collector seeking a no‑confidence motion against the Pasan NAPA vice‑president, amid a heated political clash over the Mangala Bhavan issue in Anupur.
Anupur, Madhya Pradesh – A group of sixteen members of the Pasan NAPA council submitted a formal request to the district collector on Thursday, demanding a no‑confidence motion against the body’s vice‑president. The move comes as the council’s internal dynamics have been strained by a controversy surrounding the Mangala Bhavan project, which has sparked sharp disagreements among local leaders.
According to the application, the councilors allege that the vice‑president’s handling of the Mangala Bhavan dispute has undermined the council’s functioning and eroded public trust. They argue that a no‑confidence motion is necessary to restore accountability and to ensure that the council can address the development issue without partisan interference.
The collector’s office has acknowledged receipt of the petition and indicated that it will examine the request in accordance with procedural norms. No decision has been announced yet, and the council remains divided as the political debate continues.
Local political observers note that the episode reflects broader tensions within municipal bodies in Madhya Pradesh, where development projects often become flashpoints for intra‑party rivalry. The outcome of the motion could set a precedent for how similar disputes are managed in other districts.
The Mangala Bhavan project, intended as a community facility, has been stalled amid allegations of procedural lapses and disagreements over land allocation. The council’s next steps will likely hinge on the collector’s ruling and any subsequent deliberations within the Pasan NAPA council.
