Mumbai: Selection nobles are divided and limits changed in 2017 for a political increase, Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar said on Tuesday, responding to BJP’s accusations from “damage” in the gazing boundaries in front of the BMC selection.
Pednekar, who is also Shiv Sena Corporator, said that every constituency or electoral environment ideally has a population of around 50,000 so that the problems of citizens can be completed and development work can be done.
In 2017, the Maharashtra government was led by BJP with Shiv Sena as a junior partner, but the two parties against BMC polls independently.
Last week, the Country Cabinet has decided to add nine election wards again to 227 that exist, raising numbers to 236.
Opposition, BJP, has mentioned politically motivated decisions, said the ruling parties had taken steps for their election opportunities .
.
“I don’t want to reply to any charges because this is the official selection process under the State Election Commission, but it is the fact that some wards are broken down into two or three parts, and the limits are changed for political profits in 2017.
As a result, In some ward population was 65,000, while in some wards on the outskirts of the city was only 40,000, “said Pednekar Toi.
Election data analyst Hitesh Jain shows that many wards in the city of the island have 60,000 plus populations.
“The average population per ward must be around 50,000, but some election wards such as 194, 199 and 198 in Central Mumbai have more than 60,000 populations.
There must be a uniform population in all 236 wards.
The 10% difference is fine, but at Some of the population ward is 20% above or below the average, “he added.
Pednekar Agrees: “Only if the average number of voters in each ward selection is 50,000 will work complete …
it becomes physically impossible for the Corator to serve 65,000 people …
there must be a limit limit adjustment to end the current disparity in the population In the ward.
“According to citizenship officials, five wards can be added to the western edges and four on the eastern suburb.
However, there may be adjustments to environmental boundaries and populations in the city of the island, they added.
The last time the electoral environment increased in Mumbai in 2002, when the number rose from 221 to 227.
After the 2011 census came out, BMC had a re-election gate drawn back to take into account the increase in the population in the suburbs and the decline in the city of the city.
