KOTTAYAM: In the by-election held in the 11th ward of Poonjar Panchayat, the BJP has achieved a big win. Sanal P A, who contested under the party symbol, won by a margin of 117 votes.
Out of the total 717 votes polled, 319 went to BJP; UDF got only 203 votes and LDF 195.
Earlier, LDF member Manoj had won from here but as he left the Front and joined the Congress, he was disqualified as panchayat member. Thus, there arose the need for by-election.
BJP’s victory has become a head-ache for both Fronts. In the panchayat, the tally now is LDF - six, UDF – six, and BJP – One. In the panchayat administration, BJP will have a say now.
