KARNATAKA: Congress, with its ruling coalition partner JD (S), is ready to take control of the majority of the ULB, establishing a slight increase on BJP in a closely fought race in urban local bodies elections in Karnataka.
The Congress has secured 982 seats and the BJP 929 in the elections held Saturday, while JD(S) came a distant third with 375 seats, according to the state election commission results. Independent candidates also did well with 329 seats.
Despite being cooperative in the state government, both Congress and JD (S) fought separately, but they have already declared that they will make an agreement after the elections in urban bodies.
The Congress said on Monday that the people of Karnataka have accepted the development policies of the Congress-JD(S) government in the state and have rejected the 'jumlas' (rhetoric) of the BJP after the party emerged as the single largest in the local body polls.
"People of Karnataka have once again reposed their faith in Congress by making it the number one party in urban local bodies," Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said.
The municipal elections were held in 21 of the 30 districts across Karnataka. A total of 105 urban local bodies went to polls, which include 29 city municipal councils, 53 town municipal councils and 23 town panchayats. An impressive 67.51 per cent voter turnout was recorded.
In 2013, municipal elections were held in 4,976 seats. The Congress had won 1,960 seats and the BJP and the JD(S) had secured 905 seats each. The remaining 1,206 seats were bagged by independent candidates.
