Jagran correspondent, Bhagalpur. The election of Zilla Parishad President will be held on 29th December. The State Election Commission has declared the election date and sent it to the district administration. As soon as the election date has been announced, information has been sent to all 30 members. The District Magistrate will conduct the elections.
District Panchayati Raj Officer Vikas Kumar said that the election of District Council President will be held on December 29. This information has been sent to all the members. Preparations for the elections have been started. Former presidents Ananth Kumar and Vipin Kumar Mandal are preparing to contest the elections.
Ananth Kumar is saying that he has the support of 22 councillors. Whereas Vipin Kumar Mandal is talking about adequate support. It will be known on December 29 who will be crowned President. Both the camps have started manipulation to win the election of the President. The post of Chairman has become vacant after District Council Chairman Mithun Kumar became MLA.
The post of District Council President is vacant
The post of Zilla Parishad President is vacant for the last 15 days. Since the post of District Council President became vacant, the Vice President has given the letter regarding the charge to the District Magistrate and the Chief Executive Officer of the District Council, but has not yet sat on the chair of the President. Due to the vacancy of the post of Chairman, many works in the Zilla Parishad have come to a standstill. There is anger among the councilors.
It is expected that the Vice President can take charge of the President on Friday. District Council President Mithun Kumar had resigned on November 27 after becoming MLA. After his resignation, the Vice President was to get the charge, but at the department level it was told that after resigning, there is a wait for seven days. The logic behind this is whether the resignation will be taken back by the Speaker.
The Vice President was asked to wait for seven days. It was told that on the seventh day of the resignation, information regarding vacancy in the post of Chairman will be sent to the State Election Commission. Seven days after the resignation, information about vacancy of the post was sent to the State Election Commission. There is less than one year left in the tenure of the Zilla Parishad.
