Haryana Municipal Election Results 2025: BJP Sweeps Key Municipalities
The dust has settled on the Haryana municipal elections, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerging as the clear victor in most key municipalities. Counting of votes concluded on March 12th, revealing a strong performance by the BJP across various corporations, councils, and committees. This comes as the first major electoral test for both the BJP and the Congress since the BJP's win in the Haryana assembly polls last October.
Faridabad's Landslide Victory
In Faridabad, BJP candidate Praveen Joshi secured a resounding victory, leading by a staggering margin of over 227,768 votes after five rounds of counting. The scale of this win highlights the BJP's dominance in this crucial municipality.
Key Wins and Close Contests
The BJP's success extended across the state. In Rohtak, BJP's Ramavtar Valmiki won by over 45,000 votes. Other significant BJP wins included Karnal, Ambala (by-election), and Sonipat (by-election). However, there were also noteworthy upsets. In Manesar, independent candidate Dr. Inderjeet Yadav secured a victory against the BJP, becoming the town's first mayor. This demonstrates that while the BJP achieved a major victory overall, local dynamics still played a significant role.
Gurugram's Tight Race
Gurugram saw a close contest between the BJP and Congress for the mayoral seat. While BJP's Raj Rani Malhotra ultimately won with a margin of 179,485 votes, the initial rounds of counting showed a competitive race, highlighting that not every contest was decided by an overwhelming majority.
Overall Picture
The Haryana municipal election results paint a picture of significant BJP success. The party's strong showing suggests continued popularity following their recent state assembly victory. However, the independent victory in Manesar indicates that local factors and candidates continue to influence outcomes.
