The order is particularly significant for the BJP as it doesn’t have a single MLA in any of the five Assembly segments of Solan district comprising Kasauli, Solan, Arki, Doon and Nalagarh.Had the court not stayed the clarification issued by the state government in 2023 whereby the local MLAs were granted electoral rights in the civic bodies, an additional vote of the MLA would have helped the Congress elevate their supported candidates to the two top posts.BJP-backed candidates have swept all civic body polls across the district and they are now gearing up to elevate their candidates as president and vice-president. Their supported candidates secured 16 seats as against eight won by the Congress-backed candidates in Arki, Parwanoo and Nalagarh MCs besides Kandaghat Nagar Panchayat. One seat was won by an Independent candidate.The situation was particularly grim in Arki and Parwanoo MCs where the difference of seats between the two parties was barely one.While BJP-supported candidates won four seats in Arki MC, Congress-backed candidates secured three. Similarly in Parwanoo, BJP-supported candidates won five seats as against four secured by Congress-backed candidates.
