BJP Bolsters Karnal Corp: Three Nominees Join, Enhancing Party’s Grip
The Karnal Municipal Corporation (KMC) witnessed a significant shift in its power dynamics on Thursday, July 10, 2025, with the addition of three nominated Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) councillors. This brings the total number of councillors to 23.
These newly appointed members, nominated by the Haryana state government, will not possess voting rights within the corporation. However, their presence undeniably strengthens the BJP’s influence within the KMC.
The three new councillors expressed their gratitude for the opportunity and pledged their commitment to serving the residents of Karnal. They vowed to work tirelessly for the city’s development and betterment.
This move by the state government raises questions about the balance of power within the KMC and its potential impact on local governance and decision-making processes. The implications for future municipal projects and policies in Karnal remain to be seen. The lack of voting rights for these nominated members also sparks debate on the efficacy of such appointments in fostering genuine citizen representation.
