LUCKNOW: As counting for UP panchayat elections picks pace, there were dramatic swings in fortunes of candidates backed by BJP and SP in the panchayat elections, touted as a bellwether of the high-stakes assembly elections next year.
According to the state election commission, as many as 181 zila panchayat members, 38,317 gram pradhans and 2,32,612 gram panchayat members were declared elected by Monday evening. Counting was on at 826 block headquarters of 75 districts at the time of filing the report.
The spotlight, however, was on zila panchayat wards, where political parties had thrown their weight behind candidates. Of 3,050 zila panchayat wards, results and trends of 2,300 wards show that while BJP-backed candidates were leading or won in around 700 seats, SP-supported candidates had bagged or were leading in 690 wards. The Mayawati-led BSP was at a distant third position with its 270 zila panchayat wards in its kitty.
