Hold local body elections soon: BJP
Chennai: The Tamil Nadu unit of the BJP has demanded the State government to conduct the local bodies election immediately.
“The local bodies provide the basic governance to the people at grassroot level and hence steps should be taken to hold the elections at once. Also, the Madras high court has directed the early conduct of the civic bodies poll,” BJP state president Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan said.
On July 31, the first bench of the Madras high court warned Tamil Nadu state election commissioner and other officials that they should be declared guilty of contempt of court for their failure to hold local body elections in the state. The court gave time till Monday for the state election commission to announce the schedule for local body elections. The bench pulled up the commission for not implementing the court order when there was no stay from the Supreme Court.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday she said NEET has helped the rural students to make it to medical colleges.
Also, without naming anyone, she called upon the people to indulge in constructive criticism. “Criticism should not affect the growth of others,” she added.
