Additionally, parties like the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) and the Communist Party of India (CPI) also contribute to the diverse political arena. In the 2019 general election, the BJP emerged as a dominant force, securing 62 seats, while its ally Apna Dal (S) won two seats. Mayawati's BSP secured 10 seats, and Akhilesh Yadav's SP had five seats. The Congress managed to secure only one seat. With 80 constituencies, Uttar Pradesh holds significant sway in the national political scenario.
The 2014 elections witnessed a notable victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), securing 62 seats. This success was attributed to the Modi wave and widespread dissatisfaction with the previous UPA government.
