Our Correspondent
Nawanshahr, May 23
Local-level alliances among different political parties, including the Congress, BSP, PPP and Left parties, to give a united fight to the ruling SAD-BJP combine during the recently concluded zila parishad and block samiti elections, has paid rich dividends to them, especially in the Balachaur sub-division of the district.
The Sanjha Morcha, constituted by the Congress, BSP, PPP and Left parties, has succeeded in giving a tough time to the ruling SAD-BJP, especially Chief Parliamentary Secretary Chaudhary Nand Lal, who has consecutively won the election for the fourth time from Balachaur. The Congress candidates succeeded in defeating SAD from two zila parishad zones — Pojewal and Rattewal— falling in the Balachaur sub-division and out of 31 block samiti zones falling in Balachaur and Saroya, the united opposition candidates succeeded in winning 18 zones, while the ruling SAD could win 13 seats only.
Even as in Saroya block, the ruling SAD managed to win 8 out of 15 seats, in Balachaur block samiti, the SAD could manage to win only five zones out of total 16.
