BJP takes early lead as Bengaluru civil polls results start pouring in
The BJP had a majority in the last corporation, but the ruling Congress hopes to change that.
According to reports, the BJP is currently leading in 59 of the 197 wards. The Congress is ahead in 39 seats, while the Janata Dal (Secular) is leading in 10.
For the first time, 50 per cent seats were reserved for first women candidates in the high-stake Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike or BBMP elections.
The election witnessed less than 50 per cent voter turnout on Saturday.
