August 20, 2015 08:42

The results of the 129 civic bodies' polls, to be announced today, will be a political test for the Vasundhara Raje government which has been embroiled in Lalit Modi controversy over the past few months.

While, the BJP exuded confidence that it would sweep the polls, the Congress said the results would be in its favour due to the "wrong doings" of the state government.

Counting began at 8 am in the 129 civic bodies which had gone to polls on August 17, witnessing 76.05 per cent turnout.

The results would be declared by evening.

BJP President Ashok Parnami said the higher voter turnout showed that people endorsed the development works carried out by the state government.

Dismissing Lalitgate controversy, however, Parnami said tomorrow's result would be in Raje's favour and would be self-evidentary.

Meanwhile, PCC President Sachin Pilot said that the results would be in Congress' favour simply due to the "wrong doings" of Raje government in last 21 months of its rule.
