Early Times Report

Jammu, Sept 24: After the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) announced reservation for different categories for the coming Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) elections, many BJP corporators are mounting pressure on the party leadership to give mandates to their female family members for the seats reserved for women.
Highly placed sources said that without obtaining consent from the party leadership many sitting corporators of the BJP have started campaigns for their family members on their seats.
“Party leadership has yet not taken any decision to give mendate to the female family members of sitting corporators on the seats to be reserved for women”, sources said but added that many influential corporators have already started campaigning for the coming elections.
Sources said that by starting campaign for their female family members, many influential BJP corporators have given a clear message to the party leadership that they would not accept any “outsider” in their wards.
As reported earlier, wards are to be reserved for women, SCs and STs in the municipal bodies of the UT in accordance with Section 10 A of the Jammu & Kashmir Municipal Corporation Act, 2000, and Section 11-A of the Jammu & Kashmir Municipal Act, 2000.
The wards to be notified as reserved wards for SCs, STs, women (Open category), women (SC category) and women (ST category) have been worked out on the basis of population data.

Ten wards reserved for SC category include ward number 19, 29, 41, 45, 56, 57, 59, 65, 67 and 74. Out of these wards reserved for SC category, three wards viz., 29, 56 and 65 have been reserved for SC women.
Two wards reserved for ST category include 60 and 63, out of which one ward i.e., ward number 63 has been reserved for women under ST category.
