“BJP has emerged as the third largest party in the Tamil Nadu local body elections 2022”
What FACTLY found
As per the data released by the Tamil Nadu state election commission, BJP won 308 out of the total 12838 corporators/ward members/town panchayat members, making it the fourth largest individual party in terms of win percentage. If we consider independents, BJP stands fifth, as the total seats won by independents places them in third position, above INC and BJP. The State Election Commission did not release vote share figures.
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
