The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) registered a decisive victory in the Itanagar Municipal Corporation (IMC) elections, winning 14 of the 20 wards as results were declared on Saturday. The outcome underlined the party’s strong hold in the state capital, while the Congress failed to open its account in the civic polls. According to State Election Commission secretary Taru Talo, four BJP candidates were elected unopposed even before voting took place. Women candidates also made a strong mark and won 10 seats in the 20-member municipal body.
