United opposition could see BJP sliding to 5 seats in Uttar Pradesh: Opinion poll
Lucknow, Jan 24 (IBNS): The BJP's tally in the next General elections could plunge to as low as five in Uttar Pradesh that sends 80 members to the Lok Sabha if all the opposition parties were to fight together, finds a poll by India Today-Karvy Insights.
But for this to happen, the SP, BSP, Congress, Rashtriya Lok Dal and others would have to fight as one.
Though the SP and BSP have formed an alliance in Uttar Pradesh and left the Congress out, the Congress continue to maintain a never-say-never position. Party president Rahul Gandhi had said the two parties had taken a political decision and if an arrangement did not work out, the Congress was capable of contesting all the 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh on its own.
India's Grand Old Party also sprung a surprise in the form of Rahul's sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra making her formal entry into politics on Wednesday and giving her the charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh where lie the constituencies of BJP biggies such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi (Varanasi) and chief minister Yogi Adityanath (Gorakhpur).
The BJP and it's ally Apna Dal had won 73 of Uttar Pradesh's 80 seats in 2014.
