The alliance of Samajwadi Party and Congress has stunned the BJP in the elections for 80 parliamentary seats in Uttar Pradesh. The two parties have performed amazingly and won 43 out of 80 seats while BJP could get only 33 seats.
BJP’s ally RLD has won two seats and Apna Dal has bagged a single. Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) has also got one seat. Like 2014, BSP’s account has not been opened this time too. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has won from Varanasi for the third consecutive time, while Rahul Gandhi has won from Rae Bareli and Akhilesh Yadav from Kannauj.
Seven ministers of the central government have also lost the elections, including Smriti Irani. The BJP had given tickets to 47 of its MPs, out of which 26 lost the elections.
