Mysuru: Buoyed by the emphatic victory of the party in the recently held Assembly by-polls, the BJP, which does not have enough numbers on its own to attain power in the 65-member Mysuru City Corporation (MCC), is said to be making behind the scene moves to wrest the Mayor's post, even before the Government would announce the reservation matrix for the Mayoral polls.
The term of the current Mayor Pushpalatha Jagannath of the Congress ended on Nov.16 and she continues to remain in the post as the Mayoral poll schedule is yet to be announced. As no party gained majority in the 65-ward MCC, the elections to which were held in August last year, the Congress reached an understanding with the JD(S) to gain power in the civic body, following which Pushpalatha Jagannath was elected as Mayor on Nov.16, 2018.
