Uttar Pradesh BJP chief Mahendra Nath Pandey claimed on Saturday that his party is set to win a majority of seats in several urban local bodies' elections in the state.

In an official statement issued by the state BJP in Lucknow, he said that the feedback, which the party had received from its workers, after the poll's first phase was "very encouraging".

"The BJP is going to bag three-fourth of all the seats in the urban local bodies polls," Pandey said. The party has already come up with its 'Sankalp Patra' to fulfil promises of good governance and transparency, the UPBJP chief said.
