AHMEDABAD: The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday swept the local body polls in Gujarat by winning the Junagadh Municipal Corporation (JMC) as well as 60 municipalities out of 68 and all three taluka panchayats where voting was held on February 16.

This time, the BJP has managed to snatch more than a dozen municipalities from the Congress in a state where the ruling party continued its electoral dominance after sweeping the 2022 assembly polls and winning 25 of the 26 Lok Sabha seats last year.

The Congress won just one municipality, while the Samajwadi Party (SP), a regional outfit, did better by bagging two municipalities.
