BBMP polls not on the cards for now
The Hindu
They are likely to be pushed to next year
Residents of Belagavi, Hubballi-Dharwad, and Kalaburagi will cast their vote to elect their local civic representatives on Friday. But even a year after the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) council’s term ended and an administrator took over operations of the civic body, it is unlikely the residents of Bengaluru will cast their vote anytime soon. Though the State Election Commission (SEC) is keen on holding elections to the BBMP, the legal and political tangle over it may push elections to next year, sources said. They added that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was not keen on holding polls in the near future.More Related News
