Mayawati calls Assembly election results ‘strange, one-sided’

A day after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged victorious in three out of four States and her party won only two seats overall, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on December 4 said the “one-sided verdict” in the Assembly polls was “strange” and a matter of concern.

“It is natural for all the people to be surprised, doubtful and worried with the verdict of the Vidhan Sabha elections in the four States being one-sided. Considering the entire atmosphere of the elections, such a strange result is a matter of concern for the people and very difficult to accept,” she posted on X (formerly Twitter).

“The atmosphere during the entire election was of a neck-to-neck contest. However, the outcome was in complete contrast... A terrible ‘mistake’ in sensing people’s mood is a new topic of discussion,” added the former four-time Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.
