The National Aam Jan Morcha, alongside several groups, held a press briefing in Jaipur demanding the reversal of the UGC decision and asserting that the mayor will be appointed according to their wishes.
Jaipur witnessed a press conference organised by the National Aam Jan Morcha together with a coalition of local organisations. The gathering focused on a set of demands, the most prominent being the rollback of the recent University Grants Commission (UGC) directive that the groups consider detrimental.
Representatives reiterated that the UGC reversal is essential for preserving regional educational autonomy. Alongside this, they voiced additional, unspecified demands related to local governance.
In a bold statement, the coalition claimed that the appointment of Jaipur's mayor will be decided solely according to their collective will, signalling a direct challenge to the existing electoral process.
The press briefing concluded without any official response from the state administration, leaving the stated demands pending further negotiation.
