UP civic poll: BJP sweeps big cities, but fails to open account in 36 districts

Lucknow, Dec 3: The BJP won 14 of the 16 mayoral seats in the recently held Uttar Pradesh civic elections. A close analysis of the results show that the saffron party's sweep was confined to the big cities and it, in fact, fared poorly in the smaller districts and towns, where independents reigned supreme.

The BJP failed to open its account in as many as 36 districts, while many of its nominees also lost their deposits at several places.

The data provided by the state Election Commission revealed that of the 1,299 seats of corporators, BJP candidates emerged victorious in 596. The Samajwadi Party (SP) won 202 seats, while the BSP and Congress bagged 147 and 110 seats, respectively.

The saffron party, however, fared badly in the elections to the nagar palika parishad and nagar panchayats. Of the 198 seats of nagar palika paishad presidents, the BJP could win only 70. The SP finished second with 45 seats.

The BJP could win only 17.53 % seats of the nagar palika parishad members, the data revealed. The party emerged victorious in only 922 of the 5,260 seats.

Similarly, the saffron party managed to win only 100 of the 438 nagar panchayat president seats. The SP won 83 seats, while the BSP emerged victorious on 45 seats.

Only 664 BJP nominees could make it to the nagar panchayats as members. The total seats of Nagar Panchayat were 5,433.

BJP leaders here said that the party would analyse the civic polls results at length over the next few days. "We could have done better," said a senior BJP leader here on Sunday.

SP leader Rajendra Chaudhary said that the BJP's claim of sweeping the urban local bodies polls was "far from true".

"The SP may have lost the mayoral polls but we have done far better in the smaller districts and towns," Chaudhary said.

New Delhi Aug 6: In a new twist in the Vijay Mallya case, a certain document connected with the case in the Supreme Court has gone missing from the apex court files. 

A bench comprising Justices U.U. Lalit and Ashok Bhushan adjourned the hearing to August 20.

It was hearing the review plea filed by Mallya against a July 14, 2017 judgment wherein he was found guilty of contempt for not paying Rs 9,000 crore dues to banks despite repeated directions, although he had transferred $40 million to his children.

The bench was looking for a reply on an intervention application, which it seemed has gone missing from the case papers.Parties involved in the case sought more time to file fresh copies.

On June 19, the Supreme Court sought explanation from its registry regarding Mallya's appeal against the May 2017 conviction in the contempt case for not repaying Rs 9,000 crore dues to banks not listed for the last 3 years.

A bench comprising Justices Lalit and Bhushan had asked the Registry to furnish all the details including names of the officials who had dealt with the file concerning the Review Petition for last three years.

The bench said according to the record, placed before it, the review petition was not listed before the court for last three years. "Before we deal with the submissions raised in the Review Petition, we direct the Registry to explain why the Review Petition was not listed before the concerned Court for last three years," said the bench.In May 2017, the apex court held him guilty of contempt of court for transferring $40 million to his children, and ordered him to appear on July 10 to argue on the quantum of punishment.

The bench said let the explanation be furnished within two weeks. "The Review Petition shall, thereafter, be considered on merits," it added.In 2017, the apex court passed the order on a contempt petition against Mallya by a consortium of banks led by the SBI. 

The banks claimed Mallya transferred $40 million from Daigeo to his children's accounts, and did not use this money to clear his debt. Banks cited this as violation of judicial orders.
