In Rajasthan's recent civic polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party secured control of 204 municipal boards, while the Congress won 96. The BJP's performance was particularly strong in the tribal districts of Banswara, Dungarpur and Pratapgarh.
The Bharatiya Janata Party emerged victorious in Rajasthan's municipal elections, capturing 204 of the contested boards. The Indian National Congress managed to win 96 boards, according to the reported results.
In the nine urban local bodies situated in the tribal‑dominated districts of Banswara, Dungarpur and Pratapgarh, the BJP succeeded in forming the governing board in seven of them. This outcome contributed to the party's stronger‑than‑expected showing in the tribal belt.
Political observers noted that the BJP's tally exceeded expectations, particularly in areas where the party had previously faced challenges. The Congress, while securing a notable number of boards, trailed significantly behind the BJP's overall tally.
