Gadag: After the 14-year-old gap, BJP managed to seize power in the Gadag-Betteri City Council (GBCMC) on Monday, with the basic Mahesh Party Safron Party elected as president of the local body of urban bodies, with Sunana Prakash will be selected as vice president.
Although BJP managed to get a simple majority in the election that had just been held to GBCMC, winning 18 of the 35 seats in the local body, risking power claims to prove difficult tasks for the Safron Party.
Congress, who won 15 seats, managed to register the support of two members of the rebel board, which had been contested independently to help consolidate his position.
Although the Saffron Party even tried to have three MLCs and a MP Rajya Sabha from other districts to change the battle for the position of President and Vice President to be a mere formality, the election commission foiled its plan, by agreeing to consider the application of MLC Congress and Sabha MP after the selection concluded.
Laxman Chandavari and Shakuntala Akki from Congress submitted their respective nominations for the position of President and Vice President GBCMC.
Supporters of the two parties began to vote with the GBCMC yard since Monday morning, and the atmosphere in the place resembled the battlefield on the night of the war.
When the former Minister and Congress MLA HK Patil arrived at GBCMC, BJP supporters raised slogans for their leaders such as Patil CC.
Congress workers retaliated with slogan songs praising their leaders to welcome legislators and BJP ministers.
Before the election was running, BJP officials were annoying, in interaction with the media, accusing Congress using unethical facilities to achieve power in the board.
Usha Mahesh Basics and Sunana Prakash Dasale both secured 19 votes, with the BJP Haveri MP Shivakumar UDasi spent the decisive election – Congress candidates pocketed 18 votes, including the votes provided by two independently, and MLA HK Patil.
The results were announced by the Assistant Commissioner Rayappa Hunasagi.
However, HK Patil, the allegation that the election has not been carried out in a transparent way, adds to the Congress will take legal routes to challenge the results.
