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 grabs

Rajastan 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.

Gujarat Results

The by-elections to the nine Assembly seats and the lone Vadodara Lok Sabha seat were billed as the first big test for Modi’s protégé and Chief Minister Anandiben Patel. 

The BJP won the prestigious Vadodara seat with the city’s deputy mayor Ranjan Bhatt cornering it by a margin of 3.29 lakh, two lakhs less than Modi himself.

Besides the Vadodara parliamentary seat,BJP retained Maninagar, Tankara, Talaja, Anand, Matar and Limkheda Assembly seats

 But the loss of three Assembly seats is believed to be a setback for Anandiben. 

The by-election results were unexpected given that the BJP had completely wiped out the Congress in the Lok Sabha polls, bagging all the 26 seats in Gujarat

The Congress party, which itself never believed it would win even a single seat given the Modi impact and its candidates mostly being unknown, was surprised at the results.

The Congress Party wrested Deesa in North Gujarat and Mangrol as well as Khambhalia in Saurashtra.
