Nagpur. In the midst of the increasing excitement about the municipal elections, now the political stir has also intensified due to the invitation of the draft of the revised division composition by the State Election Commission by January 6. In view of OBC reservation on behalf of the State Election Commission, some reforms were made in the division creation and the process of reservation. According to the 3-member division method, instructions have been issued to all the commissioners of the Metropolitan Municipality to reserve one ward for the general women category in each division.
On the basis of this rule, the lottery of reservation will be drawn. Earlier, according to the instructions of the Election Commission, the raw format was sent by the Metropolitan Municipalities. A meeting was taken on the draft sent of the 13 metropolitan municipalities in which elections are going to be held in the near future, in which some reforms were suggested. Clear instructions have been given to all the commissioners regarding how to determine the reservation in the format of division composition.
increased heartbeat of councilors
According to the sources, the beating of the councilors has intensified due to the invitation of the revised draft of the division composition from the State Election Commission in just 3 days. Even though political parties are citing that they are ready for the elections, but till the reservation is decided, no party is ready to speak openly. It is believed that the structure of almost all the divisions has changed after changing the current 4-member division method to 3-member. While many settlements were removed from the present division composition, new settlements have been added in many divisions. Apart from this, the number of voters in the division is also going to be affected. This is the reason that despite the development works done for the last 5 years, lines of concern have started appearing on the foreheads of the councilors regarding which part of the division is being left out from the claimed division.
elections can also be held on time
According to experts, due to the orders of the Supreme Court, the political reservation of OBCs has come under threat at the moment. Even though politics may be at its peak regarding this, the Election Commission has clear instructions in this regard. According to this, all the wards having reservation of OBC will now be marked as open category. Political parties have to decide who should be represented in these wards. In view of the continuous instructions being issued by the State Election Commission, the possibility of elections being held on time cannot be ruled out. According to experts, the outbreak of corona is continuously spreading in the state. Apart from this, the examinations of 10th and 12th classes are also going to start from February itself. If the situation is normal in both of them, then elections will be held on time, otherwise the elections can be postponed for 15-20 days.
