Polls to Council Chairman’s publish: Congress to field Nazeer Ahmed
[ad_1]
The Congress has determined to field Nazeer Ahmed within the election to the publish of the Chairman of the Legislative Council.
While members to contest can file their nominations on Monday, the election has been scheduled for Tuesday by Governor Vajubhai R. Vala.
KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar on Sunday instructed reporters that the occasion had determined to ask Mr. Ahmed to file his nomination papers.
The election to the publish of the Chairman has been necessitated after K. Prathapchandra Shetty tendered his resignation following the no-confidence movement moved in opposition to him by the BJP and the Janata Dal (S). In the present political alignment, Mr. Ahmed is unlikely to win the election because the BJP and the JD(S) collectively have the numbers within the 75-member House to get their nominee elected. While the BJP has 31 members , the JD(S) has 13 members . As per an settlement reached between the 2 events, the senior-most member within the Council and JD(S) chief Basavaraj Horatti will probably be fielded.
Despite not having the numbers, the Congress had fielded senior member K.C. Kondaiah within the election to the publish of the Deputy Chairman not too long ago. With the JD(S) help, BJP member M.K. Pranesh comfortably received the election.
