As per the strategy ruling party’s Deputy leader of Virendra aka Vicky Kukreja was elected unopposed as the Chairman of the standing Committee.

Earlier, the outgoing Standing Committee chairman Sandeep Jadhav also tried to fulfill the backlog of North Nagpur by giving adequate funds to corporators of North Nagpur during his tenure. Based on the number of corporators in the NMC Standing Committee, 12 are from BJP, 3 from Congress and one member of BSP.
Remember that according to the NMC Act, 8 out of 16 members had completed their term, in which BJP 6, Congress 1 and 1 member of BSP had completed their term were out by draw method. BJP took the resignation from its 6 members but Congress member Manoj Sangole did not resign, therefore, according to the rules, he would continue to be a member of the new Standing Committee. The BSP member also resigned from committee and gave a new corporator a chance to become a member of the standing committee.
