CHANDIGARH: The election process might have been over for the civic bodies, but elected presidents and chairpersons of civic bodies will have to fight it out when it comes to coordination with elected councillors of their areas. All this is expected as 92% of the elected councillors of municipal councils and municipal committees have contested and won as independent candidates. According to information, of the total 887 wards of 46 civic bodies which had gone to polls, 815 have won as independent candidates.
Though BJP-JJP’s main opposition party Congress is maintaining that the victory of independents is clear indication of anti government sentiment, BJP leaders insist that the party had decided to contest elections of civic body heads only.
