The battle for the by-elections in Uttar Pradesh is over. The BJP alliance won 7 seats, while the Samajwadi Party was limited to just 2 seats. The BSP, which never participated in the by-elections, also fielded its candidates for 9 seats in these by-elections, but the results were disappointing. The BSP has suffered huge losses.
In the by-elections, the BSP received far fewer votes than before. In the 9 seats where elections were held, the BSP as a whole got only 1.51 lakh votes, while in 2022 it got more than 3.5 lakh votes in these seats. BSP deposits were lost in most seats. While the candidates from Phulpur and Katehari got some votes. The decline in BSP vote share that started in 2012 continues even after 12 years.
The BSP failed to awaken its voters. Mayawati definitely fielded her candidates but did not hold any public meeting on any seat. Mayawati’s core voters have also been lost. The graph of the party that managed to form the government with an absolute majority in 2007, has been falling continuously since 2012. Mayawati had to face a crushing defeat in these 9 seats.
