Bengaluru: Social Democratic Party of India, the political arm of Popular Front of India, which had opened its account in the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) in 2010, managed to win one seat in 2015 too.
Buoyed by the victory of some of its candidates in 2013 civic polls and recent gram panchayat polls across Karnataka, the Muslim dominant party had contested for 18 seats out of 198 wards.
Among 18 candidates, Mujahid Pasha, who had contested in Siddapura Ward has registered a victory.
However, SDPI has lost Padarayanapura Ward, wherein its female candidate Prof. Nazneen Begum had defeated JDS candidate with a clear margin of 2500 votes in 2010.
Dr Mahboob Shareef Awad, Karnataka state present of SDPI, expressing contentment over SDPI’s overall performance in its second attempt in the BBMP, said that workers’ hard work yielded positive result.
