Gujarat: Capital punishment for Congress as BJP conquers Gandhinagar

The BJP broke the jinx and rode to a spectacular victory in the civic polls of the state capital Gandhinagar. The counting day on Tuesday saw the saffron party bag 41 seats in the 44-member body, as the Congress was all but wiped out in its traditional stronghold. Prior to this triumph, the BJP could never secure a majority in the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation (GMC) elections since the body’s inception in 2010.
