Fear of horse-trading and pressure politics
Political analysts and voters are worried about this indirect selection system adopted for the post of Vice President. Experts believe that when the power of selection is limited to only a few councilors, then 'horse-trading' and muscle power politics get promoted.
Chaibasa vice president election in the mirror of history
The history of municipal elections in Chaibasa has been quite interesting. When elections were held on a non-party basis in the year 2008 after a long gap of 32 years, huge enthusiasm was seen as the post of Vice President became common. Result of 2008: Strength was shown in direct elections. At that time, about 33 thousand voters of 26 wards spread from Tata College to Seraikela Mor had voted directly. The main contest was between Mithilesh Thakur and Anoop Sultania.
Result of 2018: Tough competition on party basis. Elections in the year 2018 were held on party basis. In this, a close contest was seen between Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and BJP.
The current system will prove to be a test for the administration as well.
The present system of selection of the Vice President in the Municipal Corporation elections 2026 will prove to be a test for the administration as well. Will the administration be able to stop the possible pressure on the councilors and the 'deal'? Due to the absence of direct elections, not only has the scope of candidates for the post of Vice President been limited, but the participation of the general public has also been cut off from this post.
