Coming just a few months ahead of the Assembly elections next year, the panchayat elections are being seen as a test of the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government amid the ongoing farmers’ agitation, especially in Jat-dominated regions of western UP.

The polling for gram panchayats, kshetra’ panchayats and zila panchayats will be held in four phases on April 15, 19, 26 and 29. The results will be announced on May 2 along with results of Assembly elections in four states (West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu) and UT Puducherry. — TNS
