BJP gained 26 seats in the urban and local body elections at MP, whose results were announced today. Congress won 14, increasing its tally but at the cost of Independents rather than the ruling party. Three went to Independents.
The scoreline is crucial, coming in the backdrop of the farmer agitation and the death of five farmers in police firing less than eight weeks ahead of the election.
While BJP came out unscathed, Congress seemed enthused by its gain in seats, though it lost Dabra, in Jyotiraditya Scindia’s pocket borough, by a whopping 10,000 votes.
