BJP councillors protest with lanterns against power cuts at Kozhikode Corporation Council meeting
Mayor O. Sadasivan rejects an adjournment motion moved by the BJP against power cuts in the State. BJP councillors stage a protest with lanterns and later walk out of the council hall.
BJP councillors staged a protest with lanterns against power cuts at the Kozhikode Corporation Council meeting on Saturday. The protest erupted after Mayor O. Sadasivan rejected an adjournment motion moved by the party, citing the Model Code of Conduct in force due to a by-election in the Kuttichira ward. BJP councillor Nambidi Narayanan raised the issue of unscientific power restrictions, seeking permission for a discussion on the adjournment motion.
The Mayor refused to admit the motion, stating that it could not be resolved through a council resolution. BJP councillors questioned the applicability of the Model Code of Conduct to an adjournment motion and staged a protest from their seats, raising slogans before marching out of the council hall. They returned after 15 minutes to participate in discussions on other agenda items.
