The BJP might have won big in Gujrat, but the latest bypoll in Rajastan does not paint a good picture for the party. It was a win for Congress as the party surges ahead.
The ruling BJP had to remain content with 10 panchayat samiti seats although it won seven nagar palika wards. Close on the heels of an improved performance in Gujarat, the Congress today won all the four zila parishad seats and also 16 of the 27 panchayat samiti seats and six Nagar Palika seats, for which bypolls were held.
The BJP could not even retain even a single of the four zila parishad seats that it held.
The bypolls for 27 panchayat samitis of 19 districts, 14 nagar palikas of 12 districts and four zila parishads were held on December 17.
Bypolls on all the three seats have been necessitated due to the sudden demise of two of the ruling BJP’s parliamentarians and a BJP legislator.
In August, opposition Congress had won 19 out of the total 37 seats in bypolls to urban local bodies and panchayati raj institutions while the ruling BJP had got ten.
