News India Live, Digital Desk: The time for election noise is near in the cities of Jharkhand. If you are also wondering who will be able to contest elections in your Municipal Corporation or Nagar Panchayat this time and who will not, then the government has drawn a complete blueprint for it. After a lot of wait and legal nuances, the reservation list for ‘Municipal Body Elections’ has finally been released.

Believe me, this list is not just a pile of papers, but it has complicated the political calculations of many senior leaders of Jharkhand.

What is the biggest thing in this list?
The reservation list that has come this time has made it clear that Scheduled Tribes (ST), Scheduled Castes (SC), and Backward Castes (OBC) will be represented on the posts of Mayor of which cities and Chairman of which Panchayats. The most talked about issue is ‘Women’s Reservation’, which has made the electoral path for half the population stronger than ever.

Many old players got a ‘shock’
The loudest discussion in the corridors of politics is that the favorite seats of many ‘veteran’ faces are no longer available to them. If a seat is suddenly reserved for a woman or for a particular category, then obviously the old candidates will have to find a new place or field a female member of their family. This is the problem which is giving sleepless nights to the candidates.

What is the condition of your district and city?
From big corporations like Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Dhanbad to small bodies, the reservation system has been set very finely. Now the question in the minds of the local people is who will be the candidate for their ward or mayor’s post this time. In many areas, people are celebrating that they will get a chance to choose a candidate of their category, while in some places, people feel that ‘change’ is the only way.

Now what is going to happen next?
After the reservation situation is cleared, the ball is now in the court of the Election Commission. Now election dates can be announced any time. At present, the candidates have now started going door to door in their wards and localities to join hands and seek blessings.

If you also want to know the exact status of your seat, then definitely check the list released by the district administration. Because elections are not just voting, it is like laying the foundation for the future of our city.
