Madhya Pradesh Municipal Election Phase 1 Result: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday thanked BJP’s winning candidates, party workers and voters “for reposing their faith in BJP in Madhya Pradesh civic polls.” After BJP’s resounding win in the first phase of results for the state municipal elections, PM Modi took to Twitter and said, “This victory is a symbol of the unwavering faith of the people in the @ChouhanShivraj government of the state. Many congratulations to the party workers as well as all the winning candidates.” Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also congratulated the winners, and thanked voters after BJP won in seven municipal corporations, including Satna, Sagar, Khandwa Ujjain, Bhopal, Indore and Burhanpur. However, BJP suffered a setback as it lost four municipal corporations to the Opposition. Congress has emerged victorious in Kamal Nath’s bastion Chhindwara, Gwalior and Jabalpur municipal corporations. Days after Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal’s road show in Singrauli, party’s mayoral candidate Rani Agarwal registered a big win in Singrauli Municipal Corporation, second-richest local body in the state in terms of revenue, defeating BJP’s Chandra Pratap Vishwakarma by 9,159 votes.
