The chief minister said that four legislative seats will be earmarked for Scheduled Tribes before Dec 10, aiming to complete the reservation process within the stipulated timeframe.
The state's chief minister announced on Thursday that four assembly constituencies will be reserved for Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates by 10 December. The decision was communicated during a press briefing and is intended to meet the deadline set by the election commission for finalising constituency reservations.
The move is expected to enhance political representation for tribal communities in the upcoming electoral cycle, ensuring that their interests are reflected in the legislative assembly. Officials said the selected constituencies were identified based on demographic data and past voting patterns.
Implementation will involve issuing official notification to the election authorities, followed by adjustments to the electoral rolls and candidate filing procedures. The chief minister emphasized that the government is committed to completing all procedural steps well before the stipulated date.
Political analysts noted that the reservation could influence party strategies in the affected regions, but no immediate reactions from opposition leaders were recorded at the time of the announcement.
