Government
In 2009 the Saharanpur municipal association was made a municipal corporation. It is now called Saharanpur Mahanagar. Saharanpur has been an active political ground. For many decades after independence in 1947, it was dominated by the Indian National Congress, but the trend has changed. Now it is dominated by the Bahujan Samaj Party.

Famous quotes containing the word government:
“If government knew how, I should like to see it check, not multiply, the population. When it reaches its true law of action, every man that is born will be hailed as essential.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We would be a lot safer if the Government would take its money out of science and put it into astrology and the reading of palms.... Only in superstition is there hope. If you want to become a friend of civilization, then become an enemy of the truth and a fanatic for harmless balderdash.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
“It has been the struggle between privileged men who have managed to get hold of the levers of power and the people in general with their vague and changing aspirations for equality, for justice, for some kind of gentler brotherhood and peace, which has kept that balance of forces we call our system of government in equilibrium.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
