Congress sweeps Punjab municipal polls
The ruling Congress swept the municipal polls in Punjab, winning seven out of eight municipal corporations, the results of which were declared on Wednesday. Ahead of the Punjab Assembly polls, due in early 2022, the victory of the Congress, which forcefully supported the ongoing farmer’s movement against the controversial farm laws of the Central government, is being seen as a major boost for its electoral prospects. While the BJP’s former alliance partner, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), emerged as the principal Opposition party in most municipal bodies, the BJP’s performance was dismal. According to an official statement, the Indian National Congress won 271 wards of the total 351 of the seven municipal corporations- Abohar, Batala, Kapurthala, Hoshiarpur, Pathankot, Moga and Bathinda and bye-election to one ward in Amritsar. The SAD secured 33 wards, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) 9, the BJP 20 and Independents 18.
