Solan, January 21
Congress-backed Nisha Sharma and Sonia Sharma were today elected as the president and vice-president of the Parwanoo Municipal Committee (MC), respectively.
Though the Congress-supported candidates had won four seats, they managed to rope in Independent councillor Nisha Sharma, who was denied the ticket by the BJP. She had won two elections earlier and denying her the ticket cost the BJP dear — BJP-supported candidates could win only three seats. Another Independent councillor also lent support to the Congress-backed councillors.
Nisha joined the Congress yesterday. The three BJP-supported councillors did not turn up for polling and both Nisha and Sonia were elected unanimously. — TNS
