As expected, the BJP clinched 7 of the 9 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday where by-elections were held on November 20.
The ruling BJP is leading in seven out of nine assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh whereas the Samajwadi Party had retained the Sisamau seat in Kanpur and was leading in Karhal seat in Mainpuri.
National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidates were leading on three seats while Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) was ahead on one seat as trends for the Bihar bypolls started pouring in on Saturday.
As the BJP gained a lead in Uttar Pradesh by-polls on nine seats, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said on Saturday that the Samajwadi party's reality has come before the people and it is going to become "Samaptwadi Party."
Addressing the SP chief, he said, “It is a different matter that Akhilesh has cheated his uncle again. Poor uncle has to bear this because the nephew is always scared of him."
Led by the new Leader of Opposition( LoP) Mata Prasad Pandey, the SP members came into the well of the house shouting slogans and waving play cards.
The brief monsoon session of the Uttar Pradesh legislature starting on Monday, the first after the Lok Sabha polls, is expected to be stormy, with the principal opposition Samajwadi Party trying to gain political mileage inside the assembly after its Lok Sabha victory.
In a tweet on social media X, Akhilesh Yadav, also a former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, wrote that the only demand on 'Agniveer' is that the old recruitment should be reinstated.
Maurya said, "The BJP will repeat 2017 in 2027; the lotus has bloomed, will bloom, and will keep blooming."
