GHMC Standing Committee Elections: BJP Stays Away, BRS Plans To Withdraw
Hyderabad, Feb 17 (Maxim News): The deadline for receiving nominations for the GHMC standing committee elections will end today (Monday). Seven corporators have filed nominations from the Congress. Also, eight corporators from the AIMIM filed nominations. With this, the GHMC standing committee elections will be unanimous. Baba Fasiuddin, Rahmat Nagar Corporator, CN Reddy Madhapur Corporator, Jagadishwar Goud Hastinapur Corporator, Banothu Sujatha have filed nominations from the Congress. Already, Himayat Nagar corporator Mahalakshmi Goud and RC Puram corporator Pushpa Nagesh have filed nominations from the Congress.
Eight AIMIM corporators and two Congress corporators will file their nominations. In the 15-member standing committee, seven from the Congress and eight from the AIMIM will contest with the agreement of both parties. However, the BJP has decided to stay away from the standing committee election due to a lack of majority strength, two corporators have filed their nominations from BRS. However, BRS seems to be planning to withdraw its nominations due to a lack of strength.
The GHMC Standing Committee nomination period will end today. Of the total 15 standing committee nominations, seven have already filed nominations from Congress, while eight from AIMIM will file nominations soon. Two from BRS filed nominations three days ago. Despite the lack of members. 41 BJP corporators have hesitated to file nominations. In this context, the BJP corporators have withdrawn from the standing committee election.
On the other hand, there is a possibility that the two BRS corporators who filed nominations will also withdraw their nominations. If this happens, the GHMC standing committee elections will be held without elections.
Out of the total 150 corporators in GHMC, 15 standing committee members are elected every year. After the mayor and deputy mayor, these 15 standing committee members are very crucial for any decision to be taken in GHMC regarding administration and new projects.
In the past ten years, GhMC standing committee elections have not been held so far. Every time, the elections have been held unanimously. However, this time, the BJP and BRS have a slightly higher number of members, some corporators have joined the Congress, and the mayor and deputy mayor have changed parties. In the wake of these developments, the GhMC standing committee elections are expected to be interesting, but there is a possibility that the two corporators who filed nominations from BRS may also withdraw. If this happens, the GHMC standing committee elections are likely to be held unanimously without any elections. (Maxim News)
