The State government publishing the ward reservations has paved the way for the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) elections, and various parties, including BJP, Congress and JDS, have started preparing for the polls.
Senior leaders of the BJP have held more than three meetings with the city leaders, including MPs, MLAs and former councillors, in the last month and started working on ground. “The BJP has a very strong ground presence in Bengaluru and the people know about the work the Union and State governments are doing for the people in Bengaluru through metro, infrastructure and other projects. We will detail all this through vision documents once the elections are announced. We have been preparing for the elections. Already, the party’s senior leaders have held three preparatory meetings with the city leaders. BJP national general secretary B.L. Santhosh also has held a meeting with the city leaders,” Bengaluru Central BJP MP P.C. Mohan told The Hindu.
Despite being unhappy with the State government’s ward delimitation and ward reservation process, the opposition Congress has also started to prepare for the BBMP polls. KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar will be touring all the 28 Assembly constituencies and meet with party workers.
