Mayor Bill de Blasio claimed it was “ludicrous” for The Post to demand he be removed or resign from office over his performance during the Manhattan blackout.

“It makes absolutely no sense,” de Blasio told Errol Louis on NY1’s “Inside City Hall.”

“We’re a city right now that is doing things the right way. This is a city that’s the safest big city in America. I don’t know what the New York Post is talking about. This is ludicrous.”

Hizzoner was responding to questions about The Post’s front page editorial on Monday — headlined “De Blasio Must Go! — calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to remove him from office “for the good of the city.”

The mayor was 1,075 miles away campaigning for president at an auto workers’ union hall in Waterloo, Iowa, on Saturday when the lights went out on Broadway and in other parts of Manhattan.

The Post also cited a laundry list of other failures under his watch at City Hall, including a rising homeless population and crises at the New York City Housing Authority, the Department of Education and the Administration for Children’s Services.

De Blasio was pressed on the editorial further.

Asked how he’d feel if a member of his City Hall team was needed — but was out of town applying for a new job and couldn’t be reached — the mayor said he didn’t “understand the analogy.”

“The analogy is that you’re the employee of the people of New York out of town looking for a new job,” Louis fired back.

“C’mon, Errol,” the smirking de Blasio responded. “I think we should be very clear about the fact that in a democratic society, office holders run for other offices. It happens all the time.”

Louis also suggested that de Blasio could have hired a private jet for $50,000 to get back to New York Saturday night – rather than drive four hours to Chicago and hop on a plane home the following morning.

Hizzoner admitted it was “interesting option.”

“I didn’t have that protocol ready,” he said. “We’ll look at it for the future, but even that I’m not sure we would have been able to pull off at that hour.”
