BJP Wins Mayoral Elections in Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Kota Municipal Corporations
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won mayoral elections in Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Kota municipal corporations in Rajasthan, held in September 2026. BJP candidates Anusuiya Goswami, Sunil Kothari, and Prasanna Chandra Mehta secured victories with support from party corporators and several independents. Congress nominees retained most party votes but lost due to cross-voting and independent support for BJP. The elections saw protests and close contests, with BJP maintaining its lead over Congress in these civic bodies.
