Tijara Municipal Council election: Congress candidate wins after court intervention
The election for the Tijara Municipal Council Chairperson concluded with Congress candidate Ramavatar Saini winning the post after receiving 18 votes. The election process faced significant delays and legal intervention.
Following allegations from Congress leaders that councilors were intercepted near Panchkula, Haryana, while returning from a camp in Himachal Pradesh, the Rajasthan High Court intervened. Justice Anoop Kumar Dhand presided over the hearing, which resulted in the voting deadline being extended from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. to accommodate the delayed arrival of councilors.
The court has directed the ADM of Bhiwadi to submit a report regarding the incident to the State Election Commission.
