Bangalore: The
Congress Monday headed for a big win in Karnataka urban local
bodies, leaving ruling BJP way behind as counting of votes polled
Thursday got underway in the state.
The Congress has so far bagged more than 1,200 seats of the 3,000
for which results were declared by 10.30 a.m., while the BJP was
way behind, with just around 580 seats. Janata Dal-Secular was
slightly ahead of the BJP, bagging about 600 seats.
Balloting took place Thursday for over 4,800 seats to run 207
urban local bodies.
Former chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa's Karnataka Janata Party
was struggling, with around 200 seats.
The rest were taken by smaller parties and independents.
Around 70 percent of 8.5 millon voters of the state's total
electorate of more than 40 million had voted in the elections to
urban local bodies.
