Mangaluru, Feb 23: Even though Congress party failed to meet its expectations in recently concluded Zilla and Taluk Panchayat elections in Dakshina Kannada, it managed to wrest two of the five Taluk Panchayats from the Bharatiya Janata Party in the district.
BJP had wrested Mangaluru and Bantwal Taluk Panchayats from Congress in 2011. This time, Congress bettered its performance in both the Taluk Panchayats and regained power. SDPI, CPI(M) and others did not win any seat.
In Mangaluru TP, Congress won 20 seats out of 39, while BJP won remaining 19 seats. In 2011 BJP had won 19 out of 37 seats while Congress had secured 18 seats.
In Bantwal TP Congress won 22 seats out of 34 seats while BJP won remaining 12 seats. In 2011 BJP had won 17 out of 33 seats while Congress had secured remaining 16 seats.
