Panchayat Polls in Uttar Pradesh

The ruling BJP will be contesting against the Samajwadi Party (SP), the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Congress. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Shiv Sena are fresh competitors to arrive in the panchayat polls.

Delhi chief minister and the AAP’s national convener Arvind Kejriwal after making the announcement on December 15 accused all parties in UP of betraying people as each government crossed the other one in terms of corruption. Kejriwal said that politics in the state lacked good intent and the AAP could change that.

Meanwhile, Bhim Army’s president Chandrashekhar Azad said on December 22 that his party would also field candidates in the panchayat polls before the 2022 assembly polls in the state.
