Former councillors are now questioning the State Election Commission (SEC) for not being pro-active to persuade the government and the High Court to conduct the much-delayed civic polls.
The city has been without an elected body for the past three-and-a-half years and the State government is keen to push it beyond the Lok Sabha elections, sources said.
Former city councillors, cutting across party lines, are on the same page and keen on early civic polls and now want the SEC to act decisively.
