KARIMGANJ, July 23: A total of 83 candidates including 26 females are in fray for the coming Municipal election for a total of 27 wards in Karimganj to be held on July 31, 2009.
While the BJP has decided to contest all the wards, Congress is eyeing 24 key seats. The remaining 32 will be contesting as independent candidates.
The Congress had swept the last term (2004-2009) with Debarshi Bhattacharjee as the chairman and Sukhendu Bikash Paul as the vice chairman.
Performance of the Karimganj Municipal Board (KMB) during 2004-2009 is likely to play a vital role in the ensuing election.
According to sources, the current municipal board under the Chairmanship of Debarshi Bhattacharjee has failed on many counts.
Residents are unhappy with the unfinished Rs 24 crore Storm Water Drainage Plan undertaken by KMB. The low cost Housing Project has also been criticized.
However, most of the electorates appear to be indifferent about the ensuing election.
As a result money and muscle power may play an important role this time.
