Agra Municipal Polls

With the announcement of dates for the Lok Sabha elections, the Agra Municipal Corporation on Thursday launched a drive to bring down all hoardings put up by political parties in the city, an official said.

The BJP swept urban local body elections in Uttar Pradesh winning 10 of 12 mayoral posts in municipal corporations with Congress failing to open its account.

Authorities have stepped up security in Agra for today's municipal polls which will test the popularity of the ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) in Uttar Pradesh. The SP is expected to give a tough fight to the Bhartiya Janata Party, which has been ruling the state council for over a decade.
