Rajasthan Civic Polls Show Mixed Results with BJP Leads and Congress Gains
Rajasthan's 2026 urban local body elections saw the BJP leading in many municipal corporations and councils, credited partly to PM Modi's popularity and CM Bhajan Lal Sharma's campaign efforts. However, Congress secured key victories, notably in Jhalawar, a stronghold of former CM Vasundhara Raje, and emerged as the largest party in Pali Municipal Corporation, though independents hold significant sway in several areas including Bharatpur. The mixed results reflect shifting voter sentiments and set the stage for upcoming Panchayat elections.
