Why it matters
The strategy highlights the importance of local candidate selection in Indian regional politics and the dynamics of coalition alliances.
Civil Supplies Minister and Jana Sena Party (JSP) Political Affairs Committee member Nadendla Manohar has stressed the need to select capable candidates for the proposed local body elections, taking into account their familiarity with local issues, ability to address public grievances, engagement with people, patience and commitment to party discipline.
Addressing a party coordination meeting attended by a large number of JSP leaders and cadre here on Saturday, Mr. Manohar said the party’s ideology and policies would contribute to about half the votes in local body elections, while the remaining half would depend on the candidate’s personal image.
“Voters will closely observe the candidate’s understanding of public issues and their ability to address them,” he said.
