S Aparna ko Gussa kyo aaya....

Ah the South Indian apparently took a dig at the North Indians.
SOunds so very uncouth but thats exactly what Surat Municipal Commissioner S Aparna did.
S Aparna was one name that was being contemplated as a strong replacement that could help th BJP in the coming months as Ahmedabad Municipal Commissioner. Present comm. I P Gautam is not being shunted out, but he is keen to quit AMC. However the latest controversy surrounding S Aparna, where she was visibly rude and told all North Indians “why don’t you all go back to Juanpur or Varanasi. If you don’t like Surat, why are you all here,”has not gone down well especially since the Junagadh municipal corporation Results have already put the BJP in a tight spot.
Minister Nitin Patel has apologized on behalf of Aparna insisting how BJP is open to all people from all States. Aparna too has said she is “regretful” for her “isolated comment”.But the damage has been done. Aparna and Srinivas are names which were being discussed for Ahmedabad Municipal Commissioner posting. Remains to be seen whether Aparna would make it to the AMC after her “anti North Indian” comments. Most BJP Surat corporators have asked the BJP to transfer her from Surat since she now carries a negative image. With AMC and SMC also having elections in next 15-18 months, lets see whether Aparna, otherwise a blue eyed babe for the Modi government makes it to AMC or can retain her SMC commissioner status.
