In the 2019 Lok Sabha election the BJP got 62 of Uttar Pradesh's 80 seats and its ally, the Apna Dal (Sonelal) picked up another two, while the Samajwadi Party managed only five and the Congress got just two.
The Samajwadi Party is on course to record its best-ever showing in a Lok Sabha election in Uttar Pradesh. Ex-Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's outfit - which is among those driving the Congress-led INDIA opposition bloc's surprise challenge to the ruling BJP - was leading in 38 seats at 2 pm.
The SP's previous best was 36 in 2004 - when the Congress-led UPA won.
In the last Lok Sabha election - in which the BJP got 62 of the state's 80 seats and its ally, the Apna Dal (Sonelal) picked up another two - the Samajwadi Party managed a return of only five.
