Phulbani, Dec 3: Bharatiya Janata Party has failed to show its strength in the polls held to the Phulbani Municipality and G. Udaygiri Notified Area Council.
When the results of the polls to the two urban bodies were announced on Wednesday, BJP emerged third among the three major parties. The polls were conducted on Tuesday amid tight security.
In Phulbani municipality, BJP bagged only two seats out of the total 13. Opposition Congress won the maximum number of five seats, while BJD got 4 and Independents won in two wards.
Congress also won in maximum number of wards in G. Udaygiri NAC. It won in six out of the total 13 wards. BJD took the second position with four seats and BJP got just one. Independents won in the remaining two wards.
In both the civic bodies, BJD and BJP had entered into a pre-poll alliance. While BJD had contested in seven seats each at both places, BJP had fielded its nominees in six wards each. But the two parties together failed to secure majority in both civic bodies.
However, which party or parties will form councils in Phulbani and G. Udaygiri will now depend on the decision of the Independents
