The State Election Commission on Saturday announced the schedule for the elections for Dharamshala, Palampur, Solan and Mandi.

Elections to four municipal corporations in Himachal Pradesh will be held on바카라 웹사이트April 7.바카라 웹사이트

The State Election Commission on바카라 웹사이트Saturday바카라 웹사이트announced the schedule for the elections for Dharamshala, Palampur, Solan and Mandi.바카라 웹사이트

Shimla Municipal Corporation for which the elections were held in바카라 웹사이트June 2017바카라 웹사이트has been excluded.

Of the four바카라 웹사이트urban municipal bodies which will go to the polls, three were formed by the incumbent BJP government바카라 웹사이트recently: Palampur, Solan and Mandi.

The announcement comes immediately after the state Assembly passed a bill seeking to amend HP Municipal Corporation Act, 1994 and Himachal Pradesh Municipal Corporation Elections Rules, 2012, paving the way for holding of these elections on party symbols.

This is first time when the elections to these municipal corporations will be held on the party symbols. The ruling BJP, which is in power, and also on a winning spree since 2017, aims to test the waters before the next 2022 Assembly polls.

In 2012, Shimla Municipal Corporation had witnessed elections on the party lines.바카라 웹사이트For the first time Sanjay Chauhan and Tikender Singh Panwar, both CPM candidates for the post of mayor and deputy mayor won the election.

It was also the first time when the earlier BJP government had chosen to hold the elections to the post of mayor and deputy mayor directly but the move boomeranged.

Later, the pattern was scrapped and also reverted to a non-party basis.

There used to be only one municipal corporation for Shimla, which was one of the country라이브 바카라 few oldest municipal corporations ever since the British era.

In 2015, the Congress government led by Virbhadra Singh upgraded Dharamshala Municipal Committee to the status of municipal corporation. The Congress party also won the polls.

Of three newly formed municipal corporations, Mandi in Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur라이브 바카라 home district, makes the upcoming elections quite prestigious for the BJP, which had recently won the panchayati raj elections.

According to the schedule for the elections to be held through EVMs, the process of nominations will start on바카라 웹사이트March 22바카라 웹사이트for three years. Scrutiny will be held on바카라 웹사이트March 25바카라 웹사이트and바카라 웹사이트March 27바카라 웹사이트will be the last date of withdrawal of the nominations.
