Candidates and their followers waiting for results as Officers busy Counting of votes of Zila and Gram Panchayat in Prayagraj (PTI)
LUCKNOW/AGRA: The Samajwadi Party (SP) is surging ahead in the Uttar Pradesh panchayat polls, considered the bellwether of the high-stakes assembly polls next year, with counting trends indicating that SP-supported candidates were frontrunners in 747 zila panchayat wards, while BJP-backed nominees were leading or have won 666 seats.
This has led to BJP scrambling to open back-channel negotiations with Independents who have won or are leading in 3,050 zila panchayat wards to seize control over the top tier of rural local bodies.
रायबरेली जिले के रोहनियां ब्लॉक के पंचायत चुनाव की मतगणना में लापरवाही सामने आई है। मतों की गिनती दूसरे क्षेत्र की और प्रमाण पत्र दूसरे क्षेत्र के हारे प्रत्याशी को दे दिया गया।
