A party has been registered at the address of Madhya Pradesh only.
yet to threaten the results
The number of parties that have been registered for the time being may have multiplied, but the results are yet to show promise. If we look at the statistics of the 2017 urban body elections, the Aam Aadmi Party, which came as a recognized party, could not show any charisma. In the Municipal Corporation, AAP had won only three seats of councillors. In Municipality and Nagar Panchayat, the member won only 17 and 19 seats respectively. Two posts of Nagar Panchayat president also went to the party’s account. The performance of the erstwhile registered parties was very poor. Hindusthan Nirman Dal won one post of Municipal Council member, Rashtriya Olima Council 4, Bahujan Mukt Party 1 and Peace Party won 8 posts. The Peace Party also won two posts of Nagar Panchayat President, while the Swatantra Janata Raj Party won one post of Nagar Palika President. Apart from this, most of the parties were either getting votes cut or their candidates acted as dummies for the bigger parties.
