BHUBANESWAR:
Continuing its winning spree, ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) cleared the path to
form the council by securing a lion’s share in the Baripada
Municipality polls held on
Thursday.
Out of the total 28 wards, the
results of which were declared on Friday, the BJD got 21 wards. While the Jharkhand
Mukti Morcha (JMM) won two wards and the Independent candidates won four wards
in the polls.
But the BJP and Congress couldn’t
perform well in the polls. The BJP candidates secured only one ward, whereas the
Congress failed to open its account.
The elections to the posts of chairman
of Baripada municipality (reserved for women candidate) and deputy chief of the
ULB will be held on February 13 and March 1 respectively.
