Bhubaneswar: In a major setback to Opposition Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) just ahead of the 2014 Assembly and Lok Sabha elections, performance of the parties in the much-awaited urban local body (ULB) polls were way below that of its political rival, the ruling BJD. In the civic polls to 66 ULBs, results of which were declared on Friday, BJD emerged as the single largest party by scoring a decisive victory in 44 ULBs. Congress won in 12 ULBs as BJP managed to score only in Rairangpur NAC of Mayurbhanj district. In the much-anticipated Berhampur Municipal Corporation, BJD scored a hat- trick as it continued the winning streak for the third straight year and won in 24 of 40 wards while Congress grabbed 15. BJD registered victory in Balasore Municipality and Nilagiri NAC, while Congress captured Jaleswar and Soro ULBs. Similarly, the party won Puri, Rayagada, Khurda, Jatni,Talcher, Jeypore and Malkangiri municipalities. The ruling BJD made a clean sweep in Jajpur municipality, Chikiti and Purusottampur NACs in Ganjam district as it won all 18, 12 and 14 wards, respectively. In a major success to Congress, the party claimed to form Pipili NAC by winning 10 wards. Similarly it captured Angul, Paralakhemundi, Jagatsinghpur and Dhenkanal municipalities. In these 66 ULBs, BJD had won in 40 in 2008, Congress had won 9 and BJP 9 ULBs. BJD tally improved from 40 to 44, Congress from 9 to 12 and BJP plummeted from 9 to 1 in 2013. Comparison with 2008 will not give an exact comparative picture as there was a BJD-BJP alliance in 2008. But for the sake of record, BJD wrested 6 ULBs from Congress and Congress wrested 8 ULBs from BJD this time.
