Image: India Today · original report

The BJP was the largest party in a Rajasthan municipality, but its nominee for chairperson received no votes, India Today reports. The available material does not identify the municipality, the winning candidate, the vote tally beyond the nominee’s zero, or the reasons for the result.

The Bharatiya Janata Party was the largest party in a Rajasthan municipality but its nominee for chairperson received zero votes, according to India Today. The result means the party’s position as the largest group did not translate into support for its chosen candidate in the chairperson vote. The supplied material does not name the municipality or the BJP nominee.

It also does not state which candidate was elected, how many councillors took part, or whether party members voted against the nominee. No reactions from the BJP, other parties or municipal representatives are included in the available information.
