LUCKNOW, Feb 3: The ruling BJP in Uttar Pradesh on Friday won four of the five legislative council seats for which elections were held this week and one went to an Independent, dashing the Samajwadi Party's hope to stake claim to the Leader of the Opposition's post in the Upper House. Polling on three graduates and two teachers' constituencies of the council was held on January 30 and counting of votes by ballot began on Thursday evening and was completed on Friday.
The Samajwadi Party (SP) has nine members in the 100-member Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council and needed one more to stake claim to the Leader of the Opposition's post.
With this win, the BJP's strength in the state's Upper House will rise to 79.
The BJP won in the Gorakhpur-Faizabad Division Graduates' constituency, the Allahabad-Jhansi Division Teachers' constituency, the Bareilly-Moradabad Division Graduates' constituency and the Kanpur Division Graduates' constituency.
