Guwahati: Even As Himanta’s Head of Chief Himanta Buswa Sarma relieves that the idea of the “fewer” cities and urges political parties to nominate “good people” without any part of the party, it is impossible to implement the BJP plan with power and the opposition congress has not yet come to consensus.
BJP Head of Bhabesh Kalita said in the city poll next month, BJP will involve its own candidate.
“Parties – less elections means candidates must contest without party symbols.
Except for our rivals supporting the idea of the election of the local body ‘less’, BJP alone cannot apply for this idea,” Kalita said to Ti on Saturday.
He said it was impossible to replicate the concept in the selection of the city scheduled for March 6, because the Safron Party completed the ticket publishing process.
“We welcome the idea of the minister’s chairman, even though we have come far and BJP workers are ready to oppose city selection,” he added.
Kalita said the selection of local bodies “less parties” in the future will help all.
“Decentralization of local power and governance can be reinforced by more participation if the election becomes less.
Participation of people will increase further and we will see more good people who lead the local body,” Kalita said.
He added that if political parties did not come to consensus on this issue, the government would not be able to force the parties to deal with “less party” polls in Panchayats or urban local bodies.
While the Election of Panchayat in Assam was planned by the State Election Commission in December next year, Guwahati Municipal Corporation will be held soon.
PCC President PCC Bhupen Kumar Borah is critical of the idea of the minister’s chairman “choosing good people” in local elections.
“First, the Minister of Chief must define who is a good person.
BJP offers a ticket to candidates who face various charges.
Also, Congress candidates in many Panchayats were forced to join BJP because of the threat in recent months,” Borah said.
CM Sarma, while overcoming party workers in a meeting here on Saturday, said that even though the selection of the city could not be “fewer party”, he insisted on deploying “good people”.
“Good people are those who have the will and desire to work for the community.
They may be garbage, professors, pedicab pullers, carts or farmers,” Sarma said.
