Elections to the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation (GMC) resulted in a tie on Tuesday with BJP and Congress winning 16 seats each out of the total 32. A lottery system will now decide who will rule the civic body in the state capital.
The BJP gained some ground in rural areas. It won seven out of 10 taluka panchayat seats -- six more than what they had won in the polls held in November 2015 -- where by-elections were held.
Chief minister Anandiben Patel, battling mounting pressure due to Patidar agitation, water scarcity and allegations of corruption, emerged unscathed as BJP actually improved its tally in the civic polls in state capital by one seat.
