Not to be underestimated what this means in the City.
"Evington Councillor Deepak Bajaj has announced he is defecting from Labour to join the Conservative Party in Leicester.
Crossing the political divide, Cllr Bajaj told his former Labour Colleagues that "the Labour led Leicester Council continuously blocks support from reaching those who need it within our city".
“Unfortunately decisions are often taken without proper engagement or consultation. A complete failure of democratic processes."
As a Councillor of over 15 years who has recently served as the city’s Lord Mayor, Cllr Bajaj said the city needed leadership that "upholds the highest standards of democracy and honesty, and unfortunately the current administration is not that."
