BJP retains hold over Bengaluru muncipal corporation
Bengaluru, Oct 28 (IBNS) The Bharatiya Janata Party has retained its writ over the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike or BBMP winning the civic poll with a comfortable majority.
Reports said the BJP has won 100 of the BBMP's 198 wards, the Congress 76 and the Janata Dal (Secular) 14.
This is the third big victory for the BJP this month after it won civic elections in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
"After MP & Rajasthan, BBMP poll results complete a hat-trick of wins for BJP. This is a win for politics of development & good governance," tweeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In 2010, the BJP had won control of the BBMP for the first time, winning 111 wards. The Congress had won 66.
At that time the BJP was in power in Karnataka. In 2013, the Congress wrested the state from the BJP, and Wednesday'ss win will be a major boost for the BJP's cadres.
