OST Bureau
Bhubaneswar, Sep 20 :
The ruling Biju Janata Dal has virtually swept the 2013 ULB election by winning clear majority in at least 44 of the 66 urban bodies that went to polls on September 19. Congress, the main opposition party in the state has performed far below their expectations and has managed to win in only 12. It has been a dismal show by the BJP which has won just one NAC - Rairangpur.

However, going by the officially announced tally so far, while the BJD has clear majority in 40, it is 10 for the Congress and nil for the BJP.
Of these 66 ULBs, BJD had won in 40 in 2008, while Congress and BJP had bagged 9 each. BJD tally has improved from 40 to 44. On the other hand, Congress too has improved its tally from 9 to 12 while BJP has plummeted from 9 in 2008 to just 1 in 2013.
It is important to note that there was a BJD-BJP allianceduring the ULB polls in 2008.
For records' sake, BJD has managed to wrest 6 ULBs from Congress this time whereas the Congress has snatched away as many as 8 ULBs from BJD.
