BJP sweeps Rajasthan municipal polls; Shah, Singh hail public mandate for development

The Bharatiya Janata Party secured a decisive victory in Rajasthan's municipal body elections, winning 4,171 of the 10,210 wards declared so far, while Congress secured 3,597 seats.

Home Minister Amit Shah attributed the win to public endorsement of the state government's good governance and development under Prime Minister Modi's leadership. He credited Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma and BJP state president Madan Rathod, along with party workers. Shah stated the victory will strengthen efforts to develop Rajasthan after freeing it from Congress misgovernance and corruption.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said the result demonstrates that development and good governance are synonymous with the BJP. He credited PM Modi's guidance and CM Sharma's leadership, adding the state will continue advancing towards the goal of a developed Rajasthan.
