SAD candidate elected Mudki panchayat chief

Ferozepur, May 11

After much dilly-dally, the nagar panchayat of Mudki got its president recently. During the peaceful election process, under the supervision of Amit Gupta, SDM, the SAD candidate, Gurjit Kaur Brar, was elected the president.

Earlier, the election of the president had to be postponed twice as the ruling Congress was reportedly trying to lure some MCs to make its own president. During the nagar panchayat polls, the SAD had secured eight out of 13 seats, while five seats were won by the ruling Congress. Mudki is the first nagar panchayat in this region, where the SAD secured victory. Former MLA Joginder Singh Jindu said the president had been elected unanimously. — OC
