CONG ELECTS: Leaders of Opposition for Municipal Corporations in Punjab

Chandigarh, December 10, 2012: For the first time the Congress in Punjab elected its leaders for four municipal corporations of Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Patiala through election.

The decision to elect the leaders in the municipal corporations was taken by the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President Capt Amarinder to ensure that only those candidates who enjoyed the confidence of the party councillors were elected.

The elections were held through secret ballot at the Punjab Congress Bhawan here in presence of senior party leaders and the respective observers for the particular Municipal Corporations.

The decision was widely hailed by the party rank and file, particularly the elected councillors who said, this had ruled out the possibility of favouritism.
