New Delhi:
The BJP was set for a landslide win in Gujarat civic polls as votes were counted today in seats across six municipal corporations, including Ahmedabad and Vadodara. The polls are crucial for the ruling party as it has held these civic bodies for several terms.
Ahead of state elections in Gujarat next year, these results are a test for the BJP, which is currently facing massive farmer protests since November against three central laws and anger over rising fuel prices in the country.
Voting took place on Sunday in 576 seats across six municipal corporations.
In 2015, the BJP won 391 of these seats and the Congress ended up with 174.
Votes are being counted for 192 seats across 48 wards in the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, 120 seats across 30 wards in the Surat Municipal Corporation, 76 seats across 19 wards of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation, 72 seats across 18 wards in the Rajkot Municipal Corporation, 52 seats across 13 wards in the Bhavnagar Municipal Corporation and 64 seats across 16 wards in the Jamnagar Municipal Corporation.
The counting began at 9am today.
