Bengal Election results

  TMC is marching ahead in West Bengal civic polls. Trinamool Congress swept in Kolkata  and surrounding districts but Left front recovered in some areas after suffering humiliating defeats in 2009 Loksabha polls by utilising split in oposition votes. Congress party is now relegated to support cast as in Tamil Nadu and Bihar etc. TMC and Congress went alone in these polls and Mamata proved her strength among Bengal urban voters.   TMC decimated Left front in Kolkata and Salt Lake municipalities. TMC is expected to win around 100 wards in 141-ward Kolkata municipality. TMC almost swept South Bengal.   West Bengal Municipality results:   Hung result in 20 municipalities.   Party 2010 2005       Total Municipalities 81 81        Left Front  17 54  Trinamool (TMC) 30 11  Congress  8 16  Others   - -    Kolata Municipal Corporation (TMC) results:   Party 2010 2005       Total wards 141 141        TMC 95 42 Left Front 33 75  Congress 10 15  Others  3 9    Salt lake Municipality:   TMC-18 wards   Left front - 7 wards     West Bengal assembly elections will be held in 2011.

BJP won in BMPP civic polls

  BJP grabbed Bangalore Corporation for the first time in history. BMPP went to polls after 9 years. BJP which gradually strengthened its base from 1998 onwards further consolidated its urban vote bank. BJP leaders expected wins in 100-104 wards only. This is a remarkable morale boosting victory for party as it is losing its grip in metros like Delhi and Mumbai. BJP won in all the 3 Loksabha segments in 2009 and in 17 Assembly segments out of 28 in 2008.   52 MLAs and MPs can also cast their votes in the Chiarman polls. BJP has 30 MLAs and MPs.   BMPP election results:   Total wards: 198 BJP: 112 wards Congress: 64 wards JD (S): 15 wards Others: 7 wards   Elections held on: March 28 Results announced on: April 5   Highlights of results:   1. 86 women candidates won. Only 17 women won in 2001 pools. 19 women won from unreserved wards.   2. Relatives of some criminals won with huge margin.   3. BJP lost many seats in the areas represented by Shobha Karandlaje and Arvind Limbavali. Ministers Suresh Kumar, Ashok and Naidu are one of the star performers. BJP is unstoppable in K.R. Puram, Yelahanka, Govindarajanagar and Bommanahalli.   4. Poor performance of JD (S) in newly added villages and municipalities is a big surprise.   5. Congress paid heavy price due to internal politics. Congress ruled Bangalore for 62 years. These results are a big setback for M. Krishnappa, Krishna Byregowda and Priya Krishna.   6. Candidates of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike lost deposits in many areas.   7. Former mayor P.R. Ramesh lost in Vishveshwarapuram ward.   Concern: Only 44% of voters casted their votes. This is indicating about lack of faith among voters about political parties. … [Read more...]

Karnataka election results: BJP and JD (S) swept by-polls

    BJP swept the Karnataka By-polls by winning 5 seats while JD (S) won 3 assembly seats. Congress failed to win even a single seat in the  by-elections. BJP now has absolute strength (115 members) in the 224-member Assembly. The by-polls were held after 3 Congress and 4 JD(S) MLAs resigned from the assembly to join the BJP. This is a huge blow to Congress Party despite having cadre strength in at least 5 constituencies. Effective strength of BJP is now at 121 (6 independent MLAs are supporting BJP).         By-elections for 8 Karnataka by-elections were held on December 27th in a tense atmosphere (stability Vs defectors). But BJP comfortably won the majority number of seats to regain absolute majority in the Assembly. Voters voted for “defectors” mean they want stable Government. BJP should utilise this chance to gain strength in this South Indian state. Caste, Money and liquor played significant role in the outcome of by-polls.     Congress- self goals:     1. Lack of coordination in the Congress camp helped BJP and JD (S) to clean sweep the Assembly by-elections.     2. Congress released candidate list in the last minute.     3. Lingayats are now with BJP while Vokkaligas are with JD (S). Congress fails to plan a new strategy despite knowing this hard fact. Congress needs to do caste re-engineering to make progress in Karnataka vote bank politics.     Surprise: Kumaraswamy and his wife are the first couple in the Karnataka Assembly.     Bad news: M.D. Lakshminarayan, the BJP candidate in Turuvekere, suffered a heart attack after hearing his defeat news. He collapsed in the counting centre. He was ahead of his rival JD (S) candidate till the final round of counting. … [Read more...]
