Nagpur: <\/b><\/p>\n
In a setback to the BJP, the Congress dominated the results of elections to the posts of Panchayat Samiti chairpersons and deputy chairpersons in Maharashtra’s Nagpur.<\/p>\n
The BJP didn’t win a single post of chairperson. It won only three seats of deputy chairperson.<\/p>\n
People voted in the local elections on Saturday, and the results were declared the same day.<\/p>\n
Nagpur is the home ground of Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.<\/p>\n
Nagpur also houses the headquarters of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS, the ideological mentor of the BJP, which is in power in the state and the centre.<\/p>\n
The Congress won nine out of 13 posts of chairperson and eight out of 13 posts of deputy chairperson in Nagpur.<\/p>\n
The Nationalist Congress Party, or NCP, won three posts of chairperson, while the Shiv Sena won one such post, district officials said.<\/p>\n
“The Panchayat Samiti results have demoralised the BJP cadre, as the party faced a defeat at the home ground of the RSS and senior leaders Nitin Gadkari, Devendra Fadnavis and Chandrashekar Bawankule,” former minister and Congress rural unit chief Rajendra Mulak told PTI.<\/p>\n
“Winning and losing keeps happening, but the way they have lost shows that the BJP cadre has no grip in the district,” the Congress leader said.<\/p>\n
Elections to the posts of sarpanch and members of gram panchayats were held on Sunday and results will be declared on Monday.<\/p>\n
Polling and counting for the posts of president and vice-president of zilla parishads will be held on Monday, officials said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
