Rajkot: The ruling BJP appointed a lawyer having business interest in real estate Pradeep Dav as Rajkot city mayor on Friday, which was on expected lines as the post was reserved for an OBC candidate. What many senior BJP leaders found surprising was the appointment of Darshita Shah as deputy mayor and Pushkar Patel as standing committee chairman of Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC), for the second time. They both held the same posts in the previous term in the civic body.
