Election to the post of Mayor of Ballari, which was scheduled for Tuesday, was postponed at the 11th hour for unknown reasons. Members of the civic body, cutting across party lines, condemned the postponement of the election and termed it as the handiwork of vested interests.
D. Triveni, who served as Mayor for eight months, recently resigned from the post, necessitating the Mayoral polls.
The election was then scheduled for Tuesday.
