POLITICS : THE RISE OF LOCAL POLITICIAN
In the national capital, the three existing civic bodies such as East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC), North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) and South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) have been re-unified into a single entity as the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). As per the official data, the total number of MCD wards in Delhi was reduced from 272 to 250 after a notification from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The Central government in May this year unified the three corporations into one. Out of the total 250 wards in Delhi, 42 are reserved and the BJP ruled the erstwhile three municipal corporations for over 15 years.
This time,
over 1.46 crore voters are expected to cast their votes for 250 municipal wards
in the national capital. So far, 2,021 candidates have filed their nomination
papers with the poll authorities for the upcoming civic elections in Delhi. Out
of the total nominations, independent candidates have the maximum share with
507 candidates, followed by AAP with 492 candidates :
Three major
parties -- the AAP, BJP and the Congress -- will go up against each other in
the upcoming civic elections. The Delhi
election for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was delayed already. The
delay was caused due to the administrative decision to merge the 3 corporations
of Delhi into one. The elections for MCD are going to witness a tug-of-war
between the parties. Delhi has a complete vote count of 1,46,73,847. Though every individual has the right to cast their vote as per own choice.
