Bengaluru: The capital city of Karnataka (BBMP) has a new Mayor now in Shettihally Sharadamma, elected unopposed today. Harish is deputy Mayor unanimously.
The Congress opposition in the Corruption had no strength to set up its own candidates, and backed out of contest.
Sharadamma, a SC woman under rules, is the 5th woman to become a Mayor, and she is hardly literate, just SSLC passed. She would be able to uphold Kannada in city meetings and BBMP deliberations. She owes her selection to CM.
The deputy Mayor is from ST ‘A’ category, a reserved post.
