Junaid Azim Mattu was on Tuesday removed as the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) mayor after he lost a no-confidence motion moved against him in the city body.
The Peoples Conference leader, whose election as Srinagar mayor had generated controversy two years ago, took to Twitter to announce his defeat.
Mattu, who has survived a no-confidence motion in the past, claimed the Bharatiya Janata Party and the National Conference have joined hands in Srinagar.
However, the National Conference denied any involvement in his removal.
BJPs Jammu and Kashmir unit General Secretary Ashok Koul also refuted Mattus allegation and said his party had nothing to do with Mattus removal.
