BJP won a comprehensive victory in the UP Civic Polls.

Kardam is a former lawmaker and a Jatav Dalit and currently the state vice president of the party. BSP has emerged as a strong opposition to BJP in urban local bodies given its poor performance in UP assembly and Lok Sabha elections. However, BJP has maintained its grand show in the elections and continued from Yogi Adiyanath’s powerful victory in the assembly polls.

Polling for local bodies elections were held peacefully in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut. However, there were some incidents of protests due to faulty EVM machines or malfunctioning.
