UP: Ruling BJP gets big jolt in panchayat polls
, Tuesday, 4 May 2021 (16:21 IST)
Lucknow: Even as the BJP was yet to swallow the defeat in the West Bengal assembly polls, the panchayat poll results in Uttar Pradesh has given a big jolt to the ruling party.

Though the BJP leadership was claiming that their candidates have won in over 60 per cent of the seats, but the result declared in the districts shows a different scenario.

Among the 3 tier panchayat polls the contest of the District Development Council (DDC) member was the crucial for the political parties in which BJP lagged in almost in majority of districts including PM’ s constituency of Varanasi, Ayodhya of Ram Temple, Krishna Janamsthan Mathura and in state capital Lucknow.

However in Gorakhpur, the native of chief minister Yogi Adityanath, the BJP was successful in winning majority of seats.

BJP president Swantra Deo Singh has claimed that party candidates have won over 918 DDC seats and were leading in 456 other places of the total 3050 at stake.

However the ruling BJP would get an edge during the election of the DDC chairman, as several independents, who have won the polls, could support the BJP nominee.

As no political party symbol were used in this poll it will also benefit the ruling party to rope in the winning candidates of the opposition.

According to reports in the state capital Lucknow, of the announced 25 seats, 10 were won by Samajwadi Party (SP), 4 by BSP, 3 by BJP and Independent and others 8.

In PM Narendra Modi’s, Varanasi district, seven DDC seats were won by BJP, 10 by SP, 4 by BSP, one of Congress, 2 by SBSP, 3 by Apna Dal (Sonelal) and 11 by Independents.
