It made a clean sweep in 11 urban bodies, including Agartala Municipal Corporation.

Out of the 222 seats across 14 urban bodies that went to the polls, BJP emerged victorious in 217.

The remaining 12 seats were won by the ruling BJP with a strike rate of 80%.

Meanwhile, in Panisagar and Kailashahar, the CPI (M) won one seat each in the two civic bodies. The ruling BJP had won 112 seats uncontested as no party had fielded their candidates.
