Then the win is across all sections of the people and entire geography. The victory of BJP in various districts is not just above half mark but very decisive, in ration of 2/3rd and more.

Year 2015 local polls took place in the backdrop of violent Patidar quota agitation and rural distress, and therefore Congress had excellent gains. Prior to that, in year 2010 Congress had been successful to win 01 district panchayat in local polls. The results in 2021 are therefore not just better than 2015 but even better than 2010.
