Sangeeta had become the Zila Panchayat chairman from Unnao district in 2016.
At that time, panchayat elections were not contested on political party symbol.
But this time, political parties, including BJP, have decided to officially declare its candidates so that there is no confusion or dearth of support at the grassroots level.
