Uttar Pradesh has sent an clear message

Hyderabad, Mar 15 Telangana IT and Municipal Minister KT Rama Rao on Thursday said that general society of Uttar Pradesh has sent a clear message by not giving the mandate to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Lok Sabha by-election held for two constituencies.

"Interesting to see the election results of the Loksabha seats vacated by UP CM and his Deputy CM. The state that catapulted BJP into the last place anyone would want to be in Delhi has sent an unmistakable message that nothing is changeless. The other Notional gathering has lost its deposits and relevance once more," KTR tweeted.

The BJP got an unexpected blow in the by-elections after it lost both Gorakhpur and Phulpur seats, which were already held by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya separately.

The two seats, especially Gorakhpur, were subsequently observed as a matter of prestige for the party ruling in both state and Centre.

In the last Assmebly elections, the BJP hosted deposed the Samajwadi party from the state government, yet the current bypolls saw a turn in the electoral mood, as the SP, in cooperation with the Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP), registered victory in both Lok Sabha seats.
