Postponement of elections amid veiled fist fight
Canceled the mayoral election by putting pressure on the officials. bjp members protested against the whims of congress leaders. With full majority, the congress, which has already succeeded in capturing the post of Mayor of the Corporation in two terms, today failed to rise to the post of Mayor of Bellary Corporation due to internal strife and the support of ministers and MLAs. Also, it canceled the mayoral election by putting pressure on the officials. bjp members protested against the whims of congress leaders.
The congress party, which succeeded in winning power in the stubbornly contested municipal elections two years ago.. congress failed to win power this time despite the internal strife.. Yes, in the 39-member ballari Municipal Corporation, there are 21 congress, 13 bjp and five non-party members. Also, the votes of five legislators and ministers are in favor of the Congress. Apparently the reason for postponing the election is the support of minister Nagendra and mla Bharat reddy here... Mayor Trivene, who was in power seven months ago, resigned due to power sharing. An election was to be held for that position. While non-party member Srinivasa mla Bharat reddy came along with the supported candidates and filed nomination papers for the post of mayor, while council member Shweta filed nomination papers with the members supported by minister Nagendra. Along with this, another congress member Kubera also filed nomination papers. There were three Congressmen. In the meantime bjp too had fielded its candidate Hanumantu despite not having the numerical strength. However, the election which was supposed to be held at 12.30 did not take place as scheduled. In the background of non-consensus in the congress, he kept pushing the time. As time passed, the bjp members expressed their anger against the officials and rioted for some time.
As the commotion of the bjp members got louder, the Additional district Collector Muhammad Zubair announced that the election was cancelled.. My job was to accept the nomination papers as the bjp members expressed outrage that the election was not canceled without reason. Kalaburagi Commissioner krishna Bajpayee was supposed to come and conduct the election process. But they didn't come. He said that the election has been postponed due to some reason. It is not a secret that minister Nagendra has postponed the election by using his power in the background of internal strife.
Not only in the state but also at the district level, there is a difference of opinion between the Ministers and MLAs only revealed in the Bellary Mayoral election.
