BJP Largest Party but Chairperson Candidate Receives Zero Votes in Rajasthan Municipality
In Rajasthan's Mundwa Municipality election, the BJP emerged as the largest party with 10 of 25 councillors but failed to secure the chairperson post, as its candidate Geeta Devi received zero votes. The Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) candidate Alka Devi Kandoi, supported by Congress, won with 13 votes, narrowly defeating Independent Ghanshyam Sadawat by one vote. Despite BJP's 10 councillors, none voted for their official candidate, highlighting unexpected voting dynamics in the municipality.
