BJP Faces Major Uttar Pradesh Setback After Lok Sabha Losses

Uttar Pradesh sends 80 representatives to India’s Lok Sabha.

In 2024, the BJP won only 33.

The Samajwadi Party won 37 seats, while Congress won six.

Together, the INDIA bloc won 43 seats.

This was a major change in a state where the BJP had been very strong.

The BJP had also won 312 of 403 assembly seats in 2017 and 255 in 2022.

The article says these numbers show that support shifted at the booth level, but it does not explain the specific reasons.
