While voting in Jaipur Heritage, Jodhpur North and Kota North municipal corporations will be held on October 29, the elections to Jaipur Greater, Jodhpur South and Kota South civic bodies will tale place on November 3.

The minister said good governance will be the agenda of the BJP for the municipal corporation elections and the party will issue a vision document. An aarop patra to highlight the failure of the state government will also be issued, the Union minister of state for parliamentary affairs said.
