Voting for 18 municipal councils and 28 municipalities was underway on Sunday in Haryana with the counting of ballots scheduled for June 22, officials said. The main contest is the between the state’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) alliance and the Congress, while the Aam Adam Party, in its maiden contest in the civic body poll, is testing the waters ahead of the 2024 Assembly polls in Haryana.
Unlike the main opposition Congress, the BJP-JJP alliance and AAP are fighting the polls on the party symbol. Many Congress members have entered the fray as Independents. In the 2019 polls, AAP contested on 46 of the 90-member Assembly, but faced humiliating defeat with a vote share of just 0.48 per cent. State Election Commissioner Dhanpat Singh told the media that for 456 wards of 18 municipal councils, 185 candidates are in the fray for the post of president.
