Lessons for the BJP from Uttar Pradesh MLC election
The Uttar Pradesh legislative council election offers the BJP a warning that its 2024 Lok Sabha defeat may not be an isolated event. The Samajwadi Party captured 37 council seats, while the BJP’s tally fell to 33, a sharp decline from its 71 seats in 2014 and 62 in 2019, indicating a significant shift in voter support.
