The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fortified its presence in Haryana by securing mayoral victories in nine localities, excluding Manesar, during the recent local body elections. Parveen Joshi, the newly elected Mayor of Faridabad, expressed her gratitude to the voters, acknowledging their trust and promising to tackle local challenges.

Joshi highlighted critical issues such as drinking water shortage, waste management, and sewage problems. She assured constituents that, with the collaborative support of Union Minister Krishan Pal Gurjar, these problems will see effective solutions. Joshi's victory was marked by a significant margin over her closest rival, Congress' Lata Rani.

The elections, held on March 2, covered the general election of mayors and ward members across seven Municipal Corporations and several committees.
