Mysore/Mysuru: With the Mayoral poll just a day away, there seems to be no political churnings ahead of tomorrow’s (Aug.25) election, as the ruling JD(S)-Congress alliance is most likely to continue for the remaining tenure of the MCC. The Opposition BJP which is hoping to get the Mayor post this time seems to be in disappointment yet again as the JD(S) is unlikely to ditch its alliance with the Congress. The fresh Mayoral poll has been necessitated by the disqualification of Rukmini Madegowda of the JD(S), whose election from Ward 36 (Yaraganahalli and Ambedkar Layout) was annulled by the High Court in May last, with Rukmini, who was elected as Mayor on Feb.24, holding the office for just three months.
At present,Deputy Mayor Anwar Baig is functioning as the Acting Mayor. The Mayor post is reserved for General Category - Woman.
