We will prepare the list of candidates on the basis of reserved and unreserved seats. The final list of reserved and unreserved seats will be made available to us soon. Of the 350 resumes received at the BJP office so far, 200 are women. Hence, a large proportion of women candidates are keen on contesting Varanasi civic body election," Tripathi added.
