Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru Development Minister D.K. Shivakumar is in consultation with his legal team over scrutinising ward delimitation notified by the erstwhile BJP government, in a first step towards holding polls for Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
Mr. Shivakumar, talking to The Hindu, said, “We have to give power to the people. In order to expedite the process of moving towards polls, Congress has formed a committee headed by Ramalinga Reddy, Transport and Muzrai Minister, to review delimitation.” On asking whether it was legally viable to revise delimitation of wards, he said “I have instructed my team of advocates to look into the same.”
