The Morning Standard|May 14, 2023
IN the UP urban local body polls, the ruling BJP put up an impressive show swept winning all 17 mayoral seats. In 2017, the party had bagged 14 of the total 16 seats, losing two to Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).

However, this time, the Opposition failed to open account in municipal corporations' mayoral contest.

Leaving his rivals behind, chief minister Yogi Adityanath addressed over 50 rallies in 12 days to set the tone for the civic polls, unlike SP chief Akhilesh Yadav who ended up addressing just nine poll rallies in all. The BSP chief did not find it important to reach out to voters and Congress leadership was pre-occupied with Karnataka campaign.

BJP not only swept the mayoral seats, but also improved its tally on 199 Nagar Palika (Municipal Boards) seats and 544 Nagar Panchayat seats.
