Punjab Municipal Election Results 2021: Congress sweeps Punjab urban body polls, BJP routed amid farmers' protest
Last Updated : 17 Feb 2021 02:06:49 PM IST

 

The Congress party today made a clean sweep of Punjab's seven municipal corporations in the state local body polls

The party bagged all the bodies for which the results were declared today: Moga, Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala, Abohar, Pathankot, Batala, and Bathinda - the last one also being the most stunning result of the day as it was after 53 years that the city was returning to the Congress fold. Mohali's results will be declared only tomorrow.

The outcome of the elections are significant as it comes amid farmers’ protests in the state and during the last year of Chief Minister Amarinder Singh’s government.

This is the first time the MC elections, which were postponed from last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, have been held during the Assembly election year, putting additional pressure of political parties to perform well. Over 70 per cent of the electorate turned up to vote on February 14.
