Mumbai BMC Polls Introduce New Rules
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in Mumbai has introduced new rules for people who want to run in the corporator elections.
Now, candidates have to prove they have a toilet at home and write a 100 to 500-word note about what they will do if they get elected.
Some former candidates, like Vishakha Raut from the Shiv Sena (UBT) party, think these new rules are too complicated and make them feel like they are back in school.
They remember that in the past, they did not have to submit such detailed information.
Mumbai BMC has introduced new rules for corporator election candidates.
