The Congress party made a clean sweep of Punjab's seven municipal corporations in the state local body polls. The party bagged almost all the bodies for which the results were declared on Wednesday: Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala, Abohar, Pathankot, Batala, and Bathinda - the last one also being the most stunning result of the day as it was after 53 years that the city was returning to the Congress fold.
