Worst performance in Sultanpur seat
Let’s start the matter from Sultanpur Vidhan Sabha because it is the only seat in this election, where BSP candidate DS Mishra has got 22,521 votes. Here BJP candidate Vinod Singh won by 1,009 votes. SP remained in the role of runner. Earlier in the 2017 elections, Mujeeb Ahmed was second by securing 54,393 votes and similarly in 2012, Tahir Khan stood second by securing 50,999 votes.
The BSP here is at the third position this time with 42,119 votes in Lambhua seat. Whereas Sitaram Verma of BJP, who came to try his luck on Lambhua from Sadar seat, registered victory. He tasted defeat by defeating Santosh Pandey of SP by 9,533 votes. Earlier Vinod Singh stood second in 2017 by securing 65,724 votes and in 2012 with 56,980 votes. This time Vinod Singh has changed party and won from Sultanpur.
Didn’t even get the benefit of changing faces in Kadipur and Sadar
After 8 elections on Kadipur reserved seat, this time the face of BSP candidate changed. Hiralal contested from here, he got 46,388 votes. Whereas Rajesh Gautam of BJP won here by getting a record 96,405 votes. He defeated Bhagelu Ram, who switched from BSP to SP, by 25,723 votes. Bhagalu Ram stood second in this seat by securing 60,749 votes in 2017 and 59,173 votes in 2012.
After a decade in Sadar seat, BSP played bets on its old face OP Singh. He got 39,920 votes. The interesting thing here was that while BSP repeated the old face after a decade, Raj Prasad Upadhyay, who was facing the brunt of defeat after fighting on the symbol of BSP in a decade, changed his side and joined the Nishad Party and contested on the BJP symbol. Won victory. He defeated Arun Verma of SP by 15,754 votes. Prior to this, Raj Prasad got 50,177 votes in 2017 and 51,032 in 2012 while fighting the BSP.
