Congress leader H.K. Mahesh has alleged that the delimitation of wards in Hassan City Municipal Council area by including villages on the city outskirts had been done to give an advantage to the BJP, the party in power in the state.
Addressing a press conference in Hassan on Thursday, Mr. Mahesh, who contested for Hassan Assembly seat twice, said the boundaries of the existing 35 wards had been redrawn to include the new areas. The draft notification of the delimitation showed that the wards, which were earlier represented by members belonged to minority communities, had been divided ‘unscientifically’ to benefit the BJP.
