BMC Elections : Delimitation soon, corporators anxious

In South Mumbai the total number of corporator wards expected to shrink significantly
With the Maharashtra Election Commission set to complete a delimitation exercise ahead of the 2017 elections to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, anxiety and uncertainty are evident among corporators in South Mumbai, where the total number of corporator wards is expected to shrink significantly.
A smaller number of wards in the Colaba to Matunga belt, plus anticipated changes in which wards fall under reservations for SC/ST and women candidates, means sitting corporators including some seniors could face a tough contest even to get a party ticket.
Three criteria would be included while giving party tickets Mumbai congress unit chief Sanjay Nirupam said. “If he is a sitting corporator, his performance and attendance will be seen. If he is not a sitting corporator, his connection with locals will be checked,” Nirupam said
Mumbai City BJP president Asish Shelar said the party welcomed the delimitation idea. “Priority to select a candidate for the ward will be accessibility. We want him or her to be a part of the natural boundaries and not travel all the way where they are not involved much with their constituency,” he said.
