BJP Wins Key Municipal Posts in Haryana; Independents Lead in Rewari Council Polls

In Haryana's local elections, the BJP secured key wins by electing Praveen as Sampla Municipal Committee president and Satyanarayan Jangra as Dharuhera Municipal Committee president. Sampla, a former Congress stronghold linked to ex-CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, saw BJP victory despite Congress not fielding a candidate. Independents dominated Rewari municipal council polls, winning 20 seats, while BJP and Congress won 11 and one seat respectively. BJP leads were also reported in major municipal corporations across Sonepat, Ambala, and Panchkula.
