Former Congress councillors will be meeting Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy to press the State government to hold polls for the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), which has no elected body for the last three years.
The former councilors are planning to meet the leaders after the government issues the final notification on delimitation. Sources in the government say that final notification is likely to be issued within a week.
Former councillor Abdul Wajid told The Hindu, “We will be meeting Mr. Shivakumar and Mr. Reddy to draw their attention to holding the polls. After the final notification is issued, the government can immediately complete reservations and hold polls in December.”
