Punjab civic election results: Congress out of 6 bodies out of 7 in the farmers’ movement, BJP separates Akali Dal from number four

The Congress has unilaterally won the municipal elections in Punjab in the midst of the peasant movement. Congress has captured six of the seven bodies. At the same time, the results of Mohali will come tomorrow. Out of the 350 seats in the seven municipal corporations that have just got results, the Congress has won the maximum of 268 councilors.
