News Desk: According to BJP sources, a list of candidates is being prepared for the civic polls, and there would be some surprises. The attempt would be to make the list all-inclusive and assuage the concerns of all aggrieved parties. Some front-line state leaders are likely to be among the candidates. In order to boost morale, many nominees who were defeated in the assembly elections will also be included. Leaders who have fought municipal elections before and have several years of experience are at the top of the list. Emphasis is also being laid on female candidates.
State BJP president Sukanto Majumder said “Firstly, we want the municipal elections to be held with the central forces deployed from the very beginning. It would be a farce to hand over the responsibility of election security to the state police. And it will also ensure that party workers at all levels have a special role to play in this election. They will be enthusiastic if every staff member is given special responsibility. And we are confident that this year’s result will be better than all the previous municipal elections”.
