Won't budge: Maha IAS officer in crosshairs of BJP corporators

Nashik municipal commissioner Tukaram Mundhe said today he isn't "unduly worried" about the no-confidence motion that he is facing in the BJP-ruled civic body, over the "drastic increase" in tax rates.

A special general body meeting of the civic body is likely to be held on September 1 to discuss the motion.

Asked about the motion, the 43-year-old IAS officer told PTI, "What can I say. It is their (corporators') choice. As far as I am concerned, I will continue to do what I am doing to improve the civic administration."
Asked if he apprehends that he will be shunted out again, Mundhe said, "I don't count my transfers."
Asked if the steps taken by him to streamline the civic administration have incurred the "displeasure" of those whose illegalities he did not allow, he said, "Absolutely."
When pointed out that the BJP corporators have taken the lead in moving the no-confidence motion against him and if he expected Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to support him, Mundhe said, "That is not for me to comment. I won't comment on such a question."
