She has been a councillor in the Scottish Borders council since 2003 where she is the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrat group. :[1] She is no longer an Executive Member for Education,[2] Bhatia was voted from her education post at Scottish Borders Council after colleagues turned on her for publicly opposing cuts to Nursery Education.[citation needed] Leader David Parker and Deputy Leader Neil Calvert were among 21 councillors who backed a motion by Tweeddale member Gavin Logan to remove Mrs Bhatia from her education post - Mrs Bhatia's eight Liberal Democrat colleagues voted for her to stay.
