BJP single-largest party in Rajasthan urban polls, denied sweep by Independents

The recent urban local body elections in Rajasthan showcased the significant influence of independent candidates on the outcome. Although the BJP secured the most seats, they did not dominate as expected, while Congress demonstrated resilience by winning important contests in several towns. The strong showing by independents indicates a shift toward local issues rather than party allegiance. Additionally, the announcement of results was hampered by technical glitches in some areas.
