These days, political parties in the district have started preparations for the city elections. There is a murmur in the party that this time BJP may cancel the tickets of many old ones and give a chance to new faces. Also, even after reservation of wards, some people may get separated from the mainstream.
After the reservation of wards and president has been cleared, the wards of some BJP councilors have also come under the reserved category. This has dealt them a severe blow. A party official says that this time the party is preparing to appoint some people from the organization itself to contest the elections so that maximum seats can be won. A large number of people are competing in the ticket line, but only those who live up to the expectations of the party will get the ticket. From distribution of councilors’ tickets to mayor’s ticket, churning has started in the party offices.
Congress also made preparations
The Congress has also started preparations for the urban body elections in full swing. Party councilors are also busy in their preparations. Here also the situation of Congress is being said to be almost the same as that of BJP. There is talk of changing tickets of some councilors. Also, some names are being decided according to reservation. Even in Congress, there are more than half a dozen people claiming tickets.
