Breaking the ruling party’s tendency to win the majority of seats in local state elections, the BJP appears set to grab the majority of seats in the Panchayat samiti and the Zila Parishad elections held in the 21 districts of Rajasthan.
Of the 4,371 seats in the Panchayat Samiti, the BJP had already won 1,835 of them, while the Congress managed to win 1,718 seats.
Similarly, of the 636 seats in the Zila Parishad, the BJP cornered 266 seats leaving 204 for Congress.
The result has been a blow to the arm for the BJP at a time when its government in the Center is facing protests from farmers against recent agricultural reforms enacted by it.
