By-Polls Pollings Details
By-Polls Results
As the
results of the latest round of by-polls came in on Tuesday, the BJP won
only a disappointing 12 of the 32 Assembly seats at stake across nine
states.
The
Congress got nine, and the Samajwadi Party eight, but the BJP’s sorrow
was in the geography of the results, not just the arithmetic.
It
lost seven of the eight Assembly seats it had held in Uttar Pradesh to
the Samajwadi Party, while the Congress rose from its ashes in Rajasthan
to take three seats of the four the BJP held, and three of its nine in
fortress Gujarat.
The only consolation was the BJP’s electoral debut in West Bengal, where it won one of the two seats up for grabsRajastan Results
In Rajasthan, the electorate sent a clear signal to Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje to deliver and not take them for granted.
Of
the four Assembly seats that went to the by-polls, the BJP lost three
to the Congress and retained Kota (South) with a victory margin reduced
by half of what it was in the 2013 Assembly elections.
Uttar Pradesh Results
Of the 10 Assembly seats it contested in the September 13 byelections, the BJP lost seven. The 10 seats - Noida, Saharanpur Nagar, Lucknow East, Thakurdwara, Bijnor, Nighasan, Balha, Sirathu, Hamirpur and Charkhari - had fallen vacant following the resignation of BJP MLAs who won in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
The party could retain only Noida, Saharanpur and Lucknow East, and lost the rest to SP candidates.
The
Rohaniya Assembly seat, which was with the BJP's ally Apna Dal, was
snatched by the SP's Mahendra Patel. This seat was vacated by Anupriya
Patel after her election from the Mirzapur Lok Sabha seat.
Observers
say that most BJP MPs had defied party president Amit Shah’s
instructions to work as in-charge of election campaigns in the
constituencies they had vacated.
These
MPs - including Kunwar Sarvesh Singh, Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, Ajay
Mishra, Savitribai Phule, Kirti Vardhan Singh and Keshav Prasad Maurya -
not only stayed away from the campaign but also worked against BJP
candidates, because their wishes to field their family members or
cronies as candidates were rejected.
Ram
Kumar Verma, the BJP candidate who lost from Nighasan Assembly seat to
SP’s Krishna Gopal Patel by a margin of 18,900 votes, alleged: “Our
party’s Lakhimpur Kheri MP Ajay Mishra was working against me because
the central leadership had rejected his candidate. Mishra had deployed
his men to campaign against me in favour of the SP candidate.”
Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti also blamed the local leaders for the loss.
“We
lost these seats because of the local BJP leaders. We need to analyse
what were they doing. The candidate selection process was faulty,” she
said.
Geeta Singh, the BJP candidate from Charkhari in Bundelkhand, was, however, Bharti’s choice. Singh came third.
It
was the same story in the neighbouring Hamirpur Assembly seat, vacated
by BJP’s Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti after she was elected to the Lok Sabha.
BJP candidate Jagdish Vyas lost by 68,000 votes to the SP’s Shivcharan
Prajapati.
In
western Uttar Pradesh, BJP’s Rajeev Gumber won against SP’s Sanjay Garg
by a margin of over 26,000 votes in Saharanpur Nagar, where communal
riots had taken place in July. But in Moradabad’s Thakurdwara, which had
also witnessed riots around the same time, BJP’s Rajpal Singh lost to
SP’s Nawab Jan by a margin of 27,000 votes.
Gorakhpur
MP and BJP star campaigner Yogi Adityanath said: “The SP government
shamelessly used the state machinery and didn't let me hold rallies in
four Assembly constituencies. This could be the reason for SP's victory
in seven seats. We also need to find out what kind of process was
adopted in ticket distribution and what was happening in the
organisation.”
Chief
Minister Akhilesh Yadav claimed that the sense of detachment of the
voters from BJP following “diminishing popularity of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi because of his false claim of bringing good days after
winning elections” was an important reason behind the loss of BJP.
“I
also believe that raking up communal issues cannot ensure BJP’s victory
in every election. The voters have rejected the divisive politics of
BJP and went with our developmental agenda,” Yadav said.
