Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 21 (ANI): Congress leader Sachin Pilot has exuded confidence in the INDIA alliance’s victory in all 10 seats in the by-elections for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly.
During his visit to Lucknow on Wednesday, Sachin Pilot said, “There are by-elections on 10 seats in Uttar Pradesh and the INDIA alliance will win in all 10 seats.”
He further stated that after the Lok Sabha election results, “the atmosphere in the whole country changed” and their claim of “400 paar failed.”
He further said that the central government had “to take a U-turn on its many decisions now” and the people had been raising their doubts about the “government’s decision-making ability now.”
“A reflection of this will be visible in the by-election also. Our alliance is very strong,” he added.
The by-polls are scheduled to take place after nine MLAs were elected as MPs in this year’s Lok Sabha elections and the MLA of Sishamau was disqualified after he was convicted of a criminal case. However, polling dates have not been announced yet.
In the 2022 Assembly polls, out of 493 seats, the BJP won 255 seats, with the Samajwadi Party winning 111 and the Congress with two seats.
However, of the 10 Assembly seats bound for the upcoming bypolls, five were won by the SP, three by the BJP and one each by its NDA allies, the NISHAD party and Rashtriya Lok Dal, in the 2022 assembly elections.
In the Lok Sabha elections, out of the 80 parliamentary seats in the state, the BJP won 33, with its allies RLD and Apna Dal (Soneylal) getting two and one, respectively. On the other hand, the Akhilesh Yadav-led SP bagged 37 seats, with its INDIA partner Congress winning six. (ANI)
