Congress party has retained their dominance in rural Gujarat and that has remained constant after party's up to mark performance in assembly polls. The party successfully retained powers in eight district panchayat and 40 odd Taluka Panchayat(local government bodies) after the voting held for the election of the president and vice president for a second-half term of 2.5 years.

Party's Gujarat chief Amit Chavda posted a tweet and also accused the ruling BJP for horsetrading.

In his tweet, Chavda wrote, "Despite BJP using all it's dirty tricks & using/misusing the Govt Machinery. @INCGujarat has retained the post of President & Vice-president UNCONTESTED in 8 District Panchayats — Anand, Gandhinagar, Rajkot, Junagadh, Amreli, Chhotaudepur, Narmada & Tapi and 40 Taluka Panchayats!."

However, the tug of war and suspense continued and remained over the local equations in many local government bodies.

Amreli proved to be a shocker for BJP again as all its local bodies have gone to Congress including Rajula Jafrabad Taluka Panchayat which was held by BJP earlier.

The Congress won overall 6 seats falling in the district, during assembly polls.

There were 85 Taluka Panchayats and 10 district panchayats have gone under elections of office bearers after completion of the first half. BJP managed to wrest Godhra Nagar Palika (semi-urban body) from Congress while the party failed to manage circumstances in many of the rural bodies where Congress members had turned dissident.

No reaction from BJP came after these elections been held on Tuesday.

The Congress party had to take away its members in different bodies to save them from poaching by BJP, and Ahmedabad District Panchayat is one of them.

The elections for office bearers in these bodies later in a day or two.

CHIEF’S TWEET
