Ahead of the assembly polls in Himachal Pradesh, the opposition BJP on Saturday created a record by winning the maximum number of seats - for the first time in three decades - in the 34-member house of the Shimla Municipal Corporation.
However, it still failed to get a simple majority of 18 members in a close contest. Its supported candidates won 17 seats. Its arch rival the Congress, which ruled the civic body for 26 years till the last elections in May 2012, got its 12 candidates elected.
We are going to elect our Mayor and Deputy Mayor with the support of an Independent.BJP leader to IANS
