Govt preparation for BBMP election, reservation of wards & finalization...,
The state election commission and the government are at odds over setting the dates for polls to Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). The commission wants to conduct them in December, whereas the government, currently focused on tackling the pandemic and reviving the economy, wants to defer them to 2021.
Election officials will finally decide the schedule, but the state government is the main facilitator of the process, which involves delimitation and reservation of wards and revision of voter rolls. So far, only the delimitation stage has been completed. BBMP polls were planned earlier, but the Covid-19 crisis complicated the matter. The tenure of the current elected council of BBMP will end on September 10. Before that, the government is expected to appoint an administrative officer.
With Karnataka making some progress in the virus battle, the election commission wants the government to hurry up and fulfil the poll-related obligations before November 30. “We have made it clear to the government that the polls should be conducted by December and it should facilitate things by completing the procedure on time,” said state election commissioner Basavaraj B. On Tuesday, he directed BBMP officials to wrap up rationalisation of electoral rolls on or before November 30.
Basavaraj said he would release the poll calendar after reservation of wards and finalisation of the voter list. BBMP officials started the door-to-door voter survey on Wednesday. “The election commission has given us time till November 30, but we want to finish the process much earlier. There will be no hassles in conducting the polls as ground preparations have begun,” said BBMP commissioner N Manjunath Prasad. The civic body is under pressure to get the work done as the commission has moved the Karnataka high court over the delay.
