Municipal polls major test for ruling AAP

Before the polls, opposition parties accused the AAP government of misusing official machinery. The elections are being seen as a major test for the ruling AAP, which is aiming to retain power in Punjab. The previous urban local body (ULB) elections in Punjab were held in February 2021, when the Congress was in power and the state was grappling with the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. At that time, Congress swept all eight municipal corporations and secured a clear majority in 77 of the 109 municipal councils and nagar panchayats across the state.
