Prayagraj: Now that the Mayoral post here at Sangam City has been once again declared as ‘unreserved’, different political parties have begun framing their strategies and zeroing on the candidates which have maximum winnability.
Last year, in the notification issued on December 5, the seat of mayor of Prayagraj was reserved for the Other Backward Classes (OBC). However, in the notification issued on Thursday, the Urban Development Department of the state while changing its 2022 notification, retained the ‘unreserved’ status of mayor’s seat here.
Commenting on the changed scenario, president of the BJP’s city unit Ganesh Kesarwani said, “The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has begun preparing for the election with full enthusiasm. Panna Pramukhs have started working, and booth and ward-wise teams have been formed. Senior party leaders would soon announce the candidate for the post of mayor”. Likewise, Samajwadi Party Prayagraj city unit president Syed Iftikar Hussain said: “We are in an upbeat mood about the polls and party workers are fully geared up. A meeting of senior party leaders is being convened and we would soon declare our candidates”
The Congress too has begun preparing for the elections. “Our ward visits will start next week, and candidates will also be announced soon. Senior leaders like Chaudhary Jitendra Nath Singh and Vijay Mishra are among those vying to contest for the post of mayor,” said Prayagraj city unit president of the party Pradeep Mishra Anshuman. “The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has already made preparations right from the booth level upwards and we will be contesting the polls with committees of youth and women leading our efforts,” said BSP district president TN Jaisal. In the 2017 elections, the Sangam City mayor’s seat here was unreserved. In the notification issued on December 5, 2022, the seat was reserved for OBC and there was a lot of opposition to this move. Citing the low count of backward caste numbers, people were opposing the change of Mayor’s seat from unreserved to being reserved for OBC.
The seat of Mayor of Prayagraj has been declared unreserved for the fourth time now. For the first time in 1995, after the implementation of the 74th amendment of the constitution in the state, the election of mayor (then dubbed Nagar Pramukh) was held. In this first election of the mayor was held through direct voting of the public. The seat of the mayor of Prayagraj was reserved for women. After this, the mayor’s seat remained unreserved in the elections of 2000 and 2006. In 2012, once again the mayor’s seat was reserved for women. In 2017, the mayor’s seat was unreserved again. As a result, in the five elections held so far, thrice the mayor’s seat remained unreserved. Now it has been declared unreserved for the fourth time.
