UP Lok Sabha Election Results: BJP's Allies Who Couldn't Make The Cut

In eastern UP, BJP's allies from backward castes Nishad and Rajbhar community, Nirbal Indian Shoshit Hamara Aam Dal (NISHAD) president and state government's Fisheries Minister Sanjay Nishad and Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) president and Panchayati Raj Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar could not do anything special for the NDA.

While Sanjay Nishad's son Praveen Nishad lost the election from Sant Kabir Nagar, Rajbhar's son Arvind Rajbhar also faced defeat at the hands of SP candidate in Ghosi Lok Sabha constituency.

The saffron party also lost Maneka Gandhi's Sultanpur seat and Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni's Lakhimpur Kheri seat.
