Votes cast in the urban local body polls will be counted on Monday. Officials have made arrangements to count votes in the University of Agricultural Sciences in Dharwad. Votes cast in the election of members to the Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation will be counted on tables put up there. Elections to 82 wards of the municipal corporation in the twin cities were held on Friday last. The turnout was low at 53.81%. As many as 420 candidates are in the fray. It seems to be a direct fight between the BJP and the Congress in the twin cities. But the smaller parties may gain significant number of votes to upset the major parties. The smaller parties are trying to make inroads to the three Assembly constituencies Hubballi-Dharwad West, Central and East and parts of Dharwad Ward No 71 are likely to upset the major political parties. There are rebels in some wards and that may affect the chances of the two major parties.More Related News
