After dominating UP for four decades post-independence, the Congress Party’s fortunes have steadily declined, with only occasional resurgences, such as in 2009 when it won 21 of UP’s 80 Lok Sabha seats. The last time a Congress chief minister led UP was in 1989.
The BJP achieved a monumental rise, winning 71 seats in 2014 Lok Sabha Election compared to the 10 seats it secured in the 2009 LS polls. In contrast, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which has governed UP four times, failed to win any seats in this General Election.

This was nine seats fewer than their 2014 Lok Sabha tally but sufficient to enable the alliance to form the government. Predictions for the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) and the Mahagathbandhan, including the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party, were also accurate, with the UPA winning one seat (Rae Bareli) and the Mahagathbandhan securing 15 seats.

Confident of retaining its core Muslim-Yadav voter base and aiming to attract non-Yadav OBC votes, the Samajwadi Party (SP) fielded only five Yadav candidates in the 62 seats it contested in Uttar Pradesh in the Lok Sabha elections. Notably, all five candidates are from party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav’s family.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi contested his third election from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat, facing six remaining candidates, including Congress state president Ajay Rai. Initially, 41 candidates filed nomination papers for the Varanasi constituency, with one withdrawing voluntarily. Ultimately, seven candidates passed the scrutiny process.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP lost seven seats in UP and is now facing tough contests in Ghosi and Ghazipur. The death of gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari could benefit the Opposition’s INDIA bloc in these constituencies. Previously, the Bahujan Samaj Party won both seats. Mukhtar’s brother and sitting MP Afzal Ansari is running from Ghazipur on an SP ticket, while Rajiv Rai is contesting from Ghosi on the SP symbol.

One of the major upsets was the loss of the traditional Congress stronghold Amethi to the BJP, where Union Minister Smriti Irani defeated Rahul Gandhi. However, Rahul Gandhi managed to retain his presence in the Lok Sabha by winning from the Wayanad constituency in Kerala.
