Even as the saffron party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) retained power in all six Gujarat municipal corporations — results of which were declared on Monday — Aam Admi Party (AAP) and the All-India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) who were contesting for the first time in Gujarat have made inroads in state's urban centres.

The ruling Congress won six municipal corporations and emerged as the largest party in the seventh, sweeping the urban body polls in Punjab on Wednesday.
