Mumbai: Although the Government of Supreme Vikas Aghadi wants to delay local agency polls in the state, including the BMC selection, it has not yet decided whether it will appoint an administrator or extend the provisions of the local body.
The meeting of all parties chaired by the chairman of the Minister of Uddhav Thackeray on Friday came to the consensus that the local body selection should not be held until the OBC quota was restored.
The state will search for empirical data on OBC and ask the poll to be postponed by two-three months, if needed.
A Minister of Sena said the country had not received a call to designate the administrator.
“There are several local agency polls maturing, and will not be politically properly to appoint administrators in all places.
Because various parties have power in various local bodies, the possibility that the company’s terms will be extended for three months until empirical data appears, “The Minister said.
The BMC selection is scheduled for February 2022, and they are important for Sena Shiv, who has been in power in BMC for more than 30 years.
The general election of the 10 main city companies, regardless of Mumbai, will mature in February.
The minister said the country would look for empirical data on the representation of OBC from the state backward class commission, as required by the Supreme Court.
Similarly, data from the center will also be sought from SCC (Socio Economic and Caste Census) 2011.
Earlier this year, SC attacked 27% of the OBC quota for local agency polls on the reasons for the combined quota of SCS and STS and OBC could not exceed the 50% limit .
The petition of the country is dismissed.
SC requests empirical data on OBC on every local body to enable quota recovery within a 50% limit.
The country faces local agency elections for Zilla Parishad and Gram Panchayats in December.
“If the administrator is appointed, it will send a message that CM or Sena seeks to control all the local bodies because the administrator will be appointed by CM.
The opposition will claim Sena is trying to take the company’s indirect control.
Because all parity has power in the local body, extending the term is possible choice, “said Minister.
In the case of administrators are appointed, all the power of the wings intentionally, the canporators, will go to the city commissioner at the company.
