Although the BJP had a traditional stronghold — the party won 10 out of the 12 mayor posts in 2012 — the stress from the top leadership was on matching up to the party’s performance in Assembly elections. The BJP had, for the first time, released an election manifesto for the civic body elections, while Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criss-crossed the states holding election rallies. All sitting MLAs were asked to campaign actively for the candidates in their region. The party also deployed 31 of its MLAs, who hail from regions which do not have an independent civic body within their limits, to various electoral tasks like booth level management,  NDTV reported. Regional parties like Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party for the first time fought these elections on their own symbols. The mammoth polling exercise for 16 nagar nigams, 198 nagar palika parishads and 438 nagar panchayats, was conducted in three phases on 22, 26 and 29 November. Here is the complete list of winners in mayor elections across 16 municipal corporations.
