SP and BJP accuse each other of Election irregularities, urge EC intervention The Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have both raised concerns over alleged election irregularities during the ongoing Uttar Pradesh bypolls.

The results of the Uttar Pradesh by-elections in nine assembly constituencies have reinforced the dominance of the BJP and its allies, who secured seven seats. The victory reflects Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s aggressive leadership, his emphasis on religious unity, and his appeal to transcend caste-based politics.

The BJP and its allies emerged victorious in seven of the nine assembly seats that went to bypolls, showcasing its continued strength in Uttar Pradesh politics. The party’s robust campaign and grassroots outreach seem to have resonated with voters across key constituencies.

Among the 6 seats the BJP won are Kundarki, which had gone to either SP or BSP in the last 28 years, and Katehari that it last won in 1991.

The BJP was leading in four seats while the Samajwadi Party was ahead in two of the nine assembly seats for which bypolls were held, according to Election Commission trends on Saturday. The trends in the other three seats were yet to be reflected.
