Up Panchayat Election Results

An FIR or police case has been registered against a government official deputed as additional returning officer (ARO) in the Uttar Pradesh panchayat elections for allegedly giving winning certificates to candidates who lost, an official said today.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati today said that despite misuse of official machinery and use of money power by rival parties in the Uttar Pradesh panchayat elections, the performance of the party has been "encouraging".

Police in Uttar Pradesh recently arrested two people for violating Covid guidelines while celebrating the results of the recently-held panchayat polls in the state. They also seized 20 kgs of rasgullas from their possession.

The results of the recently-held panchayat polls in UP do not look good for the ruling BJP led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

Counting of votes for Uttar Pradesh's panchayat elections, questioned by many for taking place in the middle of an unprecedented coronavirus crisis, began on Sunday morning alongside that for the closely watched polls in West Bengal and other states.

The Uttar Pradesh State Election Commission on Friday issued the notification for the three-tier panchayat polls in the state, which will be held in four phases.

The BJP has followed up its success in the Maharashtra civic elections with a sweep of by-elections to local bodies in Gujarat, asserting that the wins signal the people's support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ban on 500 and 1,000 rupee notes to combat black money.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati today hit out at the ruling Samajwadi party, terming its victory in the district panchayat chairman polls as "hollow" and a result of "blatant misuse of the official machinery".
