Who Is Rani Agarwal? Mayor Of Singrauli, Aam Aadmi Party Member

With its first-time participation in the Madhya Pradesh municipal elections, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) did well. Rani Agarwal of the AAP was elected mayor of Singrauli, defeating BJP contender Prakash Vishwakarma by 9,352 votes. The third-placed Congress party was demoted.

Arvind Chandel, a candidate for the Congress, obtained 24,60 votes, BJP received 24,879 votes, and AAP received 34,038 votes overall. One year from the 2023 Assembly elections, Agrawal's triumph has given the Madhya Pradesh AAP cadre some much-needed motivation.
