SP and BJP accuse each other of Election irregularities, urge EC intervention The Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have both raised concerns over alleged election irregularities during the ongoing Uttar Pradesh bypolls.

The results of the Uttar Pradesh by-elections in nine assembly constituencies have reinforced the dominance of the BJP and its allies, who secured seven seats. The victory reflects Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s aggressive leadership, his emphasis on religious unity, and his appeal to transcend caste-based politics.

The bypoll in Uttar Pradesh is a massive turnaround for Yogi Adityanath and the BJP after the setback in 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Voting for the bypolls in Uttar Pradesh took place along the polling for assembly election in Maharashtra and Jharkhand on November 20.

The BJP emerged victorious in five seats and was leading in one at 6 pm, while the SP secured Karhal and Sishamau seats
