Akola. In view of the Akola Municipal Elections to be held in the coming time, everyone’s attention is focused on the creation of the division. The draft of the division composition has been prepared by the Municipal Corporation and sent to the Election Commission. The decision regarding the format of this division was to be taken on January 5, but according to the information received, it is now being said that this decision will be taken by January 15. Now everyone’s attention is towards 15th January.
will take more time
If the draft of division composition is approved by the Election Commission on January 15, then reservation will be announced for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Jamaatis and women, then information and objections will also be called for whatever divisions will be declared. Then if some improvement, correction etc. has to be done in it, then only after doing that the final approval will be given to the division composition. In this way, it is expected to take more time to approve the draft of the division composition.
Similarly, it is being said that the number of councilors has now reached from 80 to 91, according to that the population of the city is believed to be more than 5 lakh 37 thousand. There is likely to be a reservation of 15 seats for Scheduled Castes, 2 seats for Scheduled Jamaatis out of 91 seats. Similarly, 50 percent seats are expected to be reserved for women.
OBC election without reservation
Due to the Supreme Court canceling the 27 percent reservation for OBCs with the ordinance of the Government of Maharashtra, it seems that the candidates of OBC category will now have to contest from the open ward. It is worth mentioning that if the elections were held according to the OBC reservation, then about 25 seats would have been reserved for the OBC category. But now it seems that without OBC reservation, there will be elections to the Municipal Corporation. In this way, paying attention to all these subjects, it will take a lot of time even after 15th January and after that the division composition will get the final shape, only then the elections of Akola Municipality will be held.
Only then will the election activities increase
The electoral activities of the candidates willing to contest the elections will increase only after the final approval of the draft of the division composition of Akola Municipal Corporation, because at present the final approval has not been received for the draft of the division composition. After the announcement of reservation etc. after the final approval, it is expected that the electoral activities will intensify because still many candidates who want to contest the elections are not getting full force due to lack of knowledge of the division.
