Beleagavi: To choose the candidate to take part in the Bellagavi City Corporation (BCC) poll, scheduled for September 3, BJP interviewed more than 1,500 candidates, maybe one of the biggest exercises in the state.
After BJP announced his participation in the poll, candidates from cross ward rush to test their luck in the poll, which was contested at the party symbol for the first time at BCC.
On each ward, there are around 20-25 party workers who want to throw their hats on the ring.
There are 58 wards within the BCC limit.
To handle extraordinary situations, the party decided to conduct interviews from all candidates.
Local leaders have improved the venue, a large hall, for field questions and to test other abilities, strength and credentials.
In Mahaveer Bhavan, seven tables are arranged for that purpose.
Interviews are held on Friday and Saturday.
Beleagavi Mla North Anil Benake, one of the organizers of the interview, said: “We ask questions like why they want to compete, about the presence of their social media, followers, community support and the like.
The event was running smoothly even though it was rather difficult.” Benake also said some Workers are also looking for tickets, and the party president of the party will receive the last call about this.
He added that after the interview, a short list will be sent to the selection committee, which will complete the nomination.
The last date to submit a nomination paper is August 23.
