Summary:
Now that the draft notification of the delimitation of BBMP wards is out, they are more worried. For, the draft has left many Congress corporators without their wards, including former Mayor Gangambike Mallikarjun (Jayanagar). “Many areas like former mayors Gangambike and Padmavathi’s wards have been merged with the neighbouring wards because of the redrawing of the boundaries. It is injustice and sheer show of power of the BJP,” said a Congress councillor on Tuesday, soon after the draft notification was made public. Through delimitation, the government attempts to make all the wards uniform based on their population..
