JALANDHAR: After emerging as the single largest party with 38 councillors in the recently concluded Jalandhar municipal corporation elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) gained the support of six newly-elected councillors of other political outfits to gain a majority in the 85-member House.

Two newly-elected Congress councillors along with two from the BJP and an equal number of independents pledged support to AAP on Monday.

"Two Congress councillors, two independent and two from BJP have formally joined the party in the presence of senior leaders. With this, the Aam Aadmi Party has now achieved the majority figure in the municipal corporation," minister Mohinder Bhagat said.

The Congress won 25 wards, while 19 seats went into the kitty of the BJP. Two seats were won by independent candidates, while Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) remained victorious on one seat.
