In a remarkable political achievement, a family from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won three separate council seats in the Doraha municipal elections, creating a rare trifecta. Priya Sharma emerged victorious in ward five by a margin of 47 votes, while her husband, Sudarshan Kumar Sharma, secured ward eight with a commanding 211-vote lead, attributing his success to 35 years of dedicated community service. Their son, Anmol Sharma, completed the family sweep by winning ward six with a 113-vote advantage over his Congress opponent.
