They criticised the move, alleging that the meeting was being treated as a mere formality and lacked genuine intent to address public issues.
Congress councillor Arvind Methi voiced strong objections, stating that none of the five listed proposals served the real concerns of Jaipur's citizens. "The agenda completely ignores pressing issues like water supply, sanitation, traffic management, and basic civic amenities.
It appears this meeting is just for show," he said.
Responding to the criticism, mayor Kusum Yadav clarified that the timing was altered to accommodate councillors who were unable to attend in the morning. "We rescheduled the meeting to 3pm to ensure maximum participation," she explained.
Regarding the proposals, the mayor said, "We currently have five items on the agenda. However, if any additional matters in the public interest are raised by the councillors during the meeting, they will certainly be considered and included."
