After impressive performances in assembly polls and urban local bodies’ polls, ruling Congress continues its winning streak in the rural local bodies’ polls with the party claims clinching 20 out of the total 27 Chairman posts in Zila Panchayats across the state.
The party also claimed to have bagged 21 posts of vice chairman.
The elections for the posts were held on Friday at all the 27 district headquarters of the state. Notable, on Thursday the party claimed to have succeeded in 110 Zanpad Panchayats out of total 145 posts across the state.
PCC chief Mohan Markam in a statement said the victory was affirmation to the policies of the one-year old Congress government in the state. “The rural populace too has now taught BJP a lesson for their false propaganda on farmers”, he said. “The agrarian population too has not reposed faith on BJP and they did not give any attention to the misleading campaign of them, the Congress leader said.
Markam further dedicated the victory to the grass root level workers, office bearers of the organisation. They scripted the impressive win all over the state by their hard work and dedication towards the party, he added.
