Political parties want to measure the temperature of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections with this litmus test of civic body elections. A day before the polling in the civic body elections, the candidates and parties have shown their strength. Somewhere there is a triangular fight in the wards and somewhere rebels can spoil the game.
In view of this, big leaders of BJP, SP, Congress and BSP have been appointed. In the wards where the rebels have not got tickets, they are spoiling the equation by contesting as independents. To handle which the help of big leaders of the party is being taken. In fact, there was speculation that on the day of withdrawal of papers, the papers would be withdrawn, but this did not happen.
