The BJP has won 67 out of 75 district panchayat chairperson seats.

"The (Zila Panchayat) elections were won through Gundaraj jungle raj. The DM and SPs were fighting the elections. It is not a great achievement if one wins the Zila panchayat polls through hooliganism, money, and the power of officials. Time and people change," the UP Congress chief said.
