"Being president of the council, I am equally responsible to run the affairs of the council in accordance with set laws and equally accountable for fulfilling this responsibility," he said.

He said it was wrong to level allegations of corruption for petty gains. "If anyone has proof of this blame (corruption), present it to the council. I will
be the first to resign if
these charges are proved," he added.
