Picking up from the hectic climax of Season 3—featuring an MLA‑linked scuffle that left “Pradhan ji” injured—the new season explores the rising political tension that ensues. The election battle intensifies with Manju Devi backed by the ever‑scheming Pradhan ji and Bhushan’s camp, while Kranti Devi rallies her own faction, Viewers can expect a gripping mix of dirty politics, grassroots strategy, and soul‑stirring personal dilemmas, including Abhishek’s CAT exam results and a slow‑burn romance with Rinki.

“#Panchayat4 remains as relatable and heartwarming… Manju Devi vs Kranti Devi… silences, unspoken words — they stay with you.” Another user emphasized the emotional journey, noting viewers are already awaiting Season 5.
Concerns Over Pace & Humor
Many lament that the comedic charm that once defined the show is now sidelined. Critiques center around the slower pacing and overbearing focus on politics, weakening the lighthearted appeal.
