BMC declares results of ward reservation lottery

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporatio (BMC) declares results of ward reservation lottery,BMC demarcation reservation ward list, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporationpolls reserved ward list 2017

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) which is headed for election in February 2017 today announced demarcation and reservation for its 227 wards. Out of the total seats, 15 wards were reserved for Schedule Castes (SC) of which 6 have been reserved for woman SC members.

Due to the recent renumbering of the wards and changed of reservations upto 80 per cent of the corporators have faced displacement. "Working for a particular ward for five years and suddenly your and wards adjacent to it are demarcated for a particular reservation leaves us in a lurch to find out what should be done," said Corporator Rais Shaikh, from Govandi whose ward has been demarcated for SC women.

This year, BMC's redrawing of the electoral map hit nearly 80 per cent of the wards, upsetting calculations of political parties and many sitting Corporators. Given the decrease in population in city areas four wards were decreased in the city and four were increased in the suburban area of the city.

According to the political expert, decrease of wards will affect the Sena which has loyal vote bank in the city and will be a gain for parties targeting the migrant population in the city.

Now, the draft list of wards will be published on October 5 and suggestions/o bjections sought from citizens till October 20. By November 18, the SEC will take the final decision. The BMC chief will publish the list and the map on November 22.
