Dehradun: Counting of votes cast in the election to the Uttarakhand civic body took place on Tuesday (20 November). It was a battle for prestige where the ruling BJP is concerned. The party attempted to match its own impressive performance in Assembly Elections, held last year when it won 57 out of the 70 seats. The Congress viewed the elections as a chance to stage a comeback.
The 84 urban local bodies, which went to polls on Sunday, include seven municipal corporations, 39 municipal councils, and 38 nagar panchayats. The results can also be checked at http://sec.uk.gov.in/.
