BBMP ELECTIONS: WILL IT EVER BE HELD? 

 The High Court had once again, directed the government to hold the BBMP elections before the year end. It had directed the Government to notify the reservation of wards. Now the ward reservation list is published, The election notification has to be issued. 

But the government is dragging its feet to hold the elections to the BBMP. 

The MLAs of the ruling BJP are dead set against the elections lest they lose the control over their constituencies and also, the power. When the reservation list was published three months back, the legislators lobby worked overnight and got the CM to stay the list. 

Even now, with the BJP's popularity getting seriously eroded due to the recent fued, the government may invent one or the other excuses to postpone the elections.
