Belagavi: The Belagavi City Corporation were given its first Kannada-speaking mayor in 5 years after Basappa Chikkaldinni was once declared elected unopposed on Thursday. His deputy is Madhushri Pujari, from the Marathi team.
The 58-member corporation is widely divided into two linguistic teams with none political affiliations. The Kannada team’s candidate received the elections since the mayor’s submit had been reserved for an ST candidate, and the Marathi team didn’t have one on its facet. Hence, the election was once without a contest.
As soon as the mayoral election process started around 10am Thursday, Basappa Chikkaldinni (shape ward 55) was once the only one to file the nomination papers for the submit of mayor. For the deputy’s submit, 3 applicants from the Marathi team — Madhushri Appasaheb Pujari (ward 13), Minaxi Chigare (ward 48) and Megha Dilip Haladankar (ward 26) — and Shanta Uppar (ward 54) from the Kannada entity filed the papers.
Megha and Minaxi withdrew their nominations and prolonged their strengthen to Madhushri Pujari, who defeated Shanta 31-23.
Besides council participants, four MLAs and two MPs have been eligible to vote within the mayoral polls. Since councillor Bhairgouda Balagouda Patil (ward 57) was once dealing with a court case for allegedly generating faux paperwork all the way through his election as a council member, his vote casting right had been withdrawn. One councillor, 3 MLAs and two MPS didn’t flip as much as vote within the polls.
Regional commissioner PA Haladankar carried out the elections. Belagavi commissioner Shashidhar Kurer accompanied him.
After his election, Basappa Chikkaldinni expressed happiness and thanked the Jarkiholi brothers, particularly Sathish, for his or her strengthen, and vowed to make the city “extra gorgeous and blank”.
Before the ballot process started, councillor Pandhari Parab and MLA Sambhaji Patil had instructed the government to habits the lawsuits in Hindi as many didn’t understand Kannada. But Kannada participants Ramesh Sontakki and Sarala Herekar objected to this request. The election officer stated elections can be held in Kannada as that’s the executive language of Karnataka.
