Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati is ‘doubtful, surprised and worried’ about the election results of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Telangana. Apart from Rajasthan, BSP could not even open its account in the state elections this time. Today he made several tweets one after the other. He did not hold EVMs responsible, but the party chief says that ‘It is mysterious that the results were completely different and completely one-sided.’
In the assembly elections of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, Mayawati not only fielded candidates but also actively held rallies on many seats. The party did not open its account in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, but won two seats in Rajasthan, which was very poor compared to its previous performance. The party chief believes that the atmosphere during the entire election was completely different and there was a tough competition, but the election results were just the opposite.
See all the updates on the results of assembly elections of five states here.
BSP vote share in four states
This time BSP has got 2.09 percent votes in Chhattisgarh, 1.82 percent in Rajasthan, 3.4 percent in Madhya Pradesh and 1.38 percent in Telangana. The party’s result was very poor compared to the 2018 elections. Mayawati, in her X post today, a day after the election results, said that she had made a grave ‘mistake’ in sensing the pulse of the people and stressed the need to discuss it.
1. It is natural for all the people to be doubtful, surprised and worried when the results of the recently held assembly general elections in four states of the country were one-sided in favor of one party, because considering the entire atmosphere of the elections, such a strange result was a shock to the people. Very difficult to get down.

BSP’s demonstration in Madhya Pradesh
Madhya Pradesh is the neighboring state of Uttar Pradesh and BSP is considered to have a good hold on the assembly seats in the border areas. The party fielded 62 candidates here. Chief Mayawati held 8 rallies here and had full hopes of victory but did not win even a single seat. BSP got 3.4 percent votes in the state elections. The party stood second in seats like Nagod, Sirmaur and Sumawali.
BSP demonstration in Rajasthan
BSP played a big bet in Rajasthan assembly elections. The party fielded candidates on all 199 seats but only two seats – Sadulpur and Bari – were won. Talking about the last elections, BSP had won six seats with 4.03 percent votes.
2. The atmosphere during the entire election was completely different and interesting like a close fight, but the election result being completely different from it and being completely one-sided, is such a mysterious matter that requires serious thinking and its solution. A terrible mistake in sensing the pulse of the people is a new topic of election discussion.

However, all the BSP MLAs later joined the Congress party. BSP is considering this as a big setback. The Chief held rallies on eight seats here but won only on two seats. Among these, Manoj Kumar Singh won with a margin of 2574 votes and Jaswant Singh Gurjar won with a margin of 27,424 votes.
BSP’s demonstration in Telangana-Chhattisgarh
Bahujan Samaj Party also fielded its candidates in Telangana and Chhattisgarh but did not even open its account in these states. The party secured 2.09 percent votes in Chhattisgarh and 1.38 percent votes in Telangana. However, not a single seat was won. Not only this, compared to the last election, the party’s voters also dispersed. For example, in the 2018 Chhattisgarh elections, the party secured 3.87 percent votes. In the last Telangana elections, the party fielded 106 candidates but was defeated, whereas in 2014, the party had won two seats amid a clean sweep by BRS.
What was Mayawati’s planning?
BSP supremo Mayawati is considered to be a leader who has a history of creating surprises whenever she sees an opportunity. Mayawati is seen opposing both BJP and Congress parties on public platforms. This is the reason why the party decided to go alone in this election. The party hoped to get a decisive vote, and wanted to form a post-poll alliance, but all was in vain. Now Mayawati has called a national level meeting on December 10 to review the crushing defeat in four states.
