The State government, which is now armed with the High Court order on delimitation, will redraw ward boundaries across the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) limits in a span of 12 weeks, a time period stipulated by the court. Minister for Transport Ramalinga Reddy will supervise the delimitation.
Sources in the Congress alleged that a draft of the exercise was submitted to the government by a commission which was non-existent at the time of submission. Documents furnished before the High Court and accessed by the The Hindu revealed that delimitation was notified by the previous BJP regime on July 14, 2022, while the final notification was issued after the tenure of the delimitation commission ended. The tenure of the commission that was constituted on January 29, 2021, ended on July 29, 2021.
