Bengaluru: The BJP has appealed the Central Election Commission to postpone the by-elections to the Ramanagara Assembly constituency which was scheduled to held on November 3.
BJP SC Morcha National General Secretary, CN Ramu has sent an e-mail to the Election Commission on Thursday night.
The Ramnagar constituency has fallen vacant after its MLA HD Kumaraswamy took charge as the Chief Minister. BJP had given B. Form to L. Chandrashekhar to contest from Ramnagar constituency in the bypolls. However, on Thursday, Chandrashekhar announced that he was retiring from the contest. "If at all he wins the election, he will be disqualified to become the MLA as he has already resigned the party. Therefore the election must be postponed," the BJP urged.
Several legal aspects have been proposed while demanding the postponement of elections.
It is learned that a delegation of senior BJP leaders will meet the Election Commission regarding this today.
